2018 WPRB Membership Drive!


103.3 fm WPRB’s first on-air Membership Drive since 2016 gets underway this Wednesday, and I need your help to make the drive a success.

On Wednesday, April 25 from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm ET, we’ll be attempting to exceed 103 sustaining donors in just three hours. 

Sustaining donors you ask? What gives, Jon?

Well, WPRB can now easily 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.
 
Join the inaugural team that I still don’t have a name for! Solomon’s Sustainers? The Scorekeepers? Knights In Solomon’s Service? A better idea you can hopefully come up with, ASAP?

Mark your calendars now and set that alarm to pledge the evening of 4/25. It is going to be easier than ever to become a member, and WPRB can’t remain “community supported independent radio” without assistance from the community.

This is the one 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! Long-time listeners! Current DJs! Internet pals! Folks who just discovered all WPRB has to offer! Family! 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 first show will be frantic, fast-paced fun, as a rotating group of co-hosts, special guests and I mix 45s from deep in WPRB’s library with selections pulled from Ice Station Solomon. An all-star collection of WPRB DJs will be manning the phones to take your pledges. It is thrilling, infectious radio.

I’ll have amazing prize packages to give away each hour (look for a full list early next week once it is finalized), including my personal copy of an out-of-print Superchunk 45.

That’s on top of the incredible WPRB-branded stickers, metal pins, slipmats, totes, shirts 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 25th 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

Ps. When you give, please use the hashtags #WPRB2018 and #JS103 on-line so I can properly thank you by screen name and on-line alias!
