Dear Sustainable Maritimers,
Halifax's community and campus radio station is gearing up for our annual
funding drive and we're looking for your support.
CKDU 97.5 FM has provided a vibrant alternative to mainstream media for
many years now, this is our 19th annual funding drive. All CKDU volunteers
and staff are asking everyone they know in the community to help us raise
45,000 dollars to keep the station going for another year.
CKDU provides a wide diversity of programming that is aired all of the
time: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have over 130 volunteers creating
this programing.
Here's a few of the shows on CKDU that might be of interest to listeners
concerned about environmental issues:
-Tales from Pickle Lake - great storytelling, outdoor adventures,
noon Mondays
-Indigenous visions - native issues and music, 11pm Mondays
-Eco-Freako - a new environmental radio show, 5:10-6pm Tuesdays
-Women's radio collective - noon-1pm Wednesdays
-Wallflower's Revenge, 3-5pm Wednesday, has a weekly farm report
about ecological farming adventures
-Guerilla Radio - social justice and environmental issues, 5pm
Thursdays
That's just a few of many shows, there's lots of music shows too.
The station provides a forum where many community groups can be heard as
guests on shows or by creating their own shows. (The Atlantic Filmmakers
Co-op has a weekly show called Kino Pravda -cinema of the mind -Wednesday
at 5:30pm.) If you want to create a radio show please call the station,
we're always happy to have new volunteers.
Pledging your support to CKDU gets you prizes, and good ones!
For a 50$ pledge you get a t-shirt, a friends of CKDU discount card that
gets you 10% off at various local businesses, and 50$ worth of CDs and/or
books from the prize room.
For a 25 $ pledge you get the friends card, and 25$ worth of prizes.
You can pledge now and pay later. The prize room opens on March 1st this
year. The sooner you pay, the better the choice of prizes.
There are often interesting prizes available such as organically grown
garlic, locally gathered honey, and homemade music compilations. Or how
about a coupon for an hour long massage donated by a local therapist?
This year the on-air portion of funding drive runs from February 13 - 20.
You can tune in then and call in your pledge. Many unique prizes are
offered on air.
However, advance pledges are the main focus for programmers. (I encourage
you to e-mail me with an advance pledge that can go towards the minimum of
800 $ i have to raise for my show!)
My show is called Wallflower's Revenge, it airs 3-5pm on Wednesday
afternoons. I've been producing this show for about 6 years. I play folk
and old time or alternative country music. There is also a weekly farm
report where i talk about some of my experiences in the part of Hants
county where i work on an organic farm and visit other farms.
CKDU needs to raise one third of its operating budget during the next few
weeks. 45,000 dollars is a lot to raise but if many people make donations
of amounts between 5 to 50 dollars, or even more, then it all adds up.
Thank you for your support,
Lyse Boyce, on behalf of CKDU 97.5 FM in Halifax
