While we’re all enjoying this morning’s salute to elusive autumn on Classic Ross Amico, I thought I would offer a gentle reminder that the music you hear on WPRB 103.3 FM is made possible thanks to listener contributions. True, we are the radio station of Princeton University, but we are independently owned and funded. It’s what’s called a paradox.

Now, we’re not going to hammer you with incessant pitches for your cash with a little music sandwiched in between. This is a “silent drive.” We’re just putting it out there and leaving it up to you to follow your conscience and accept responsibility. The sad fact of the matter is that many people listen, but very few give. I believe the percentage is something like one in ten.

I know that everyone is clamoring for you to give this time of year. But even if it’s only a few bucks, we’ll take it. In fact, when you follow the link, I think you’ll notice that the thank you gifts are tailored to encourage donations at all levels. You’ll find some updates about the station and get a glimpse of the swag by going here:

Take the plunge into autumn until 11:00 this morning. Enjoy the music knowing that you are instrumental in keeping it going. Thank you in advance for your tax-deductible contribution to WPRB. When you get to the comments section, don’t forget to mention your fondness for the hard-working Classic Ross Amico!
