Once more unto the WFMU pledge drive
What's that you say, you've never listened to WFMU? Fie on you and your Jack FM station! Even your local NPR affiliate, all due respect, I still say fie on it.
Let me sum it up: WFMU is freeform radio, the tagline goes, the way it oughta be. It's that rare combination in radio: a broadcaster that's grown its audience (It's now streamed globally) without shedding its local identity, it's completely DJ centric values or its heart-felt scrappiness. If you wish for the continuance of original (and good) musical expression, you should be listening to WFMU. And if you like what you hear, you should give them some money, since the pledge drive is happening right now. I give $75 a year and it really is the gift that keeps on giving.
