Support
Radio Pledge
Public
Radio is special. One of the things that makes us special
is our funding model - we put our product out there
and then ask our consumers to pay for it. When we ask
for funding, we're in a mode we call "pledge drive."
Pledge drives are the time when public radio goes to
its consumers to ask for support. It is a giddy time
in radio; fabulous programming, many, many requests
to listeners for support, and lots of volunteers in
the station staffing phones and helping on air.
The
main volunteer job during radio pledge drive is answering
phones. This is a very important job because the person
that answers the call is the voice of KRCB to our public.
We ask folks to come to the station for a training session
and then to commit to one or two shifts of two to four
hours each over a two-week pledge period. We need phone
answerers in the early morning, late afternoon, on weekday
evenings, and all day on the weekends. Pledge drives
generally occur in September/October and April/May.
KRCB is utterly dependent on volunteers and when it
comes to pledge, we couldn't function without you. Come
down for the camaraderie and to get a behind the scenes
peek at radio!
