Alex Parsons, WKAR Supporter

"I've been a supporter since I was a student here at Michigan State." That's what Alex Parsons told us when we met him last week at our WKAR Preview for NOVA: Hunting the Elements. Alex is communications manager at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams project at MSU, and a staunch WKAR listener: "It's every morning and all weekend long."

"I value the programming, the national programming -- the news programming, specifically," he told us, "but also the connection that I feel to Michigan State University and to Mid-Michigan and this region because of the reporting that's done by [WKAR] staff here."

If you're a long-time listener like Alex, but not yet a supporter -- you can take that important next step when you Give Now here at WKAR.org.

With federal funding eliminated, WKAR relies more than ever on community support to sustain essential services that remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan. Your support helps shape what comes next for public media in our region. The best way to support WKAR is by becoming a sustaining member today or by upgrading your current gift.
