Perched on a Rock in the Radioquarium

Thanks to all of you who have pledged online at wclv.org or on the phone at 1-877-676-1049 to become charter members of WCLV. Your pledges are as important to us as WCLV's 24/7 music is to you. Keep listening and remember that the gifts at each dollar level are our way of thanking you for pledging and for keeping WCLV on in your home, car, office, or anywhere else you can't do without us. Your extraordinary devotion to this station is matchless. Before the week is out, the "Quack of Support" may make its debut.

Pledging at the Improv

Public stations' pledge drives are frequently like improv on the radio. The "talent" persuades listeners to become members, and none of it is scripted. We also review some of the thank-you gifts and challenges. In the case of WCLV, 50 years in the same classical format in Cleveland, many listeners call to tell us how devoted they are to the station. New listeners remark on the surprising blend of classical music and humor. Friday, February 8th, WCLV will begin its first fundraiser as the nation's newest public radio station. Will we hear from you at 1-877-696-1049? Online, feel free to browse the thank-you gifts when you click on the blue box that you'll see on wclv.org. You can also pledge securely there. From Oberlin to Strongsville to Willoughby, your financial support is essential to keep WCLV a unique radio station in the sea of frequencies.
