I’m hosting my 2019 WPRB Membership Drive show TONIGHT from 5-8 pm ET! Julia Factorial will be sitting in for the program as we try to exceed 79 pledges (one for each year of WPRB’s existence) in three hours. Thank you in advance for listening and I look forward to saying your name on-air this evening.
Here’s more on what you can expect…
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ONE PLACE ON THE INTERNET.
WHAT: Jon Solomon’s 2019 Membership Drive show on 103.3 fm WPRB.
WHEN: Tonight, a/k/a Wednesday, April 24 from 5-8 pm ET.
SHOULD I PLEDGE BEFORE YOUR SHOW, JON?: Not if you want me to hit my goal, no. SHOULD I PLEDGE AFTER YOUR SHOW, JON?: Not if you want me to hit my goal, no. SHOULD I PLEDGE *DURING* YOUR SHOW, JON?: Yes. That would be delightful. Thank you in advance.
WHAT IS THE GOAL FOR THE SHOW?: 79 unique pledges. One for each year of WPRB. You can donate as little as $1. All donations are tax deductible. If you miss this window and still pledge to WPRB during the drive that is g.r.e.a.t., but that isn’t going towards my goal.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER I PLEDGE?: Encourage others to do the same before time runs out! Use the hashtag #WPRB2019 to spread the word.
WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?: Well, you’re supporting one of the nation’s last truly independent radio stations. The community helps keep WPRB autonomous, free form and not beholden to anyone beyond the listenership. There are pins, shirts, hats and stickers galore in return.
ANYTHING EXCLUSIVE TO YOUR SHOW I COULD WIN?: Yes!!! If you donate, you’ll be in the running for hourly prize packs available only during the show that include Jon Solomon-endorsed releases by Superchunk (including an out of print 7”), Ex Hex, Writhing Squares, The Breeders and more. Thanks to Merge, Trouble In Mind and Wild Mutation for their generosity.
CAN YOU MAKE A HARD SELL?: This is the one week of the year that allows WPRB’s other 51 weeks of commercial free, creative programming to exist. If I’ve played music on the air from your band or your label, if you’ve been a guest on my show, if I’ve played records that became favorites of yours through the program, if I’ve made your Christmas more enjoyable the past 30 years, then I trust you’ll give back tonight.
103.3 fm WPRB’s on-air Membership Drive is underway, and I need your help thisWednesday to make the drive a success.
On Wednesday, April 24th from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm ET, we’ll be attempting to exceed 79 donors (one for each year of WPRB) in just three hours.
If you haven’t heard, WPRB can accept recurring monthly donations! Isn’t a repeating monthly contribution easier on your wallet than a one-time lump sum? You bet it is! So many of you already back artists, podcasts and the like via Patreon. This is just like that, only direct through WPRB – who will summarize your donations at each year’s end for tax purposes.
Mark your calendars now and set that alarm to pledge the evening of 4/24. It is easier than ever to become a member, and WPRB can’t remain “community supported independent radio” without assistance from the community.
This is the lone time of year that WPRB calls upon its listeners to show financial support to keep the station independent, innovative, commercial-free and competitive in a crowded digital world.
Let’s help WPRB endure as a strong, interesting, curious place at the forefront of the airwaves with a tremendous Membership Drive!
If you’ve given in years past, I am sure I can count on you again.
I’d especially love to hear from those of you who haven’t pledged previously and get you to join the WPRB family for the first time.
Old DJs! Friends! Online advocates! Folks who just discovered all WPRB has to offer, alongside people who have been with me the past 30 years of broadcasting! Family! Current DJs! My neighbors! People who only tune in on Christmas! Secret Seltzer Society members! Those who have never pledged before!
You! I need to hear from ALL of you!
This year’s show will be super f.u.n., as I mix 45s from deep in WPRB’s library with selections pulled from Ice Station Solomon and the sounds of giveaway prizes. An all-star collection of WPRB DJs will be manning the phones to take your pledges. It is thrilling, infectious radio.
Thanks to the generosity of Merge Records, Trouble In Mind and Wild Mutation I’ll be offering the following premiums exclusively during my marathon program. Some rare and out of print stuff on this great list!
Superchunk – “What A Time To Be Alive” – LP Superchunk – “Break The Glass” – 45 Mike Krol – “An Ambulance” – 45 Ex Hex – “It’s Real” – LP The Spinanes – “Manos” – LP (yellow vinyl) The Breeders – “All Nerve” – LP (orange vinyl) The Breeders – “All Nerve” – LP (black vinyl) Sunwatchers – “Illegal Moves” – LP Writhing Squares “Out Of The Ether” – LP Wild Mutation gift certificate Sparrow Steeple – “Tin Top Language” – LP The Love Language – “Baby Grand” – LP (signed) Escape-ism – “The Lost Record” – LP
That’s on top of the incredible WPRB-branded stickers, metal pins, shirts, hats and other “thank you” gifts available starting at a $15 donation level.
ALL PLEDGES ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
Thank you in advance for your support of WPRB’s unique freeform programming during this year’s drive. You can pledge on-line here starting on the 24th or by calling 609-258-1033.
Pledging during my show sends a strong message that my program matters to you, but pledging at some point during the drive is really the most important thing.
Thank you! Let’s ring that bell!
Jon Solomon 103.3 fm WPRB
