The annual CJSW (www.cjsw.com) funding drive (FD) begins tomorrow, Friday, October 20, at 9:00 am. The FD is the week in the year when CJSW, Calgary's campus and community radio station, calls upon its great listeners for their support. For 2017, the main goal is $250,000; all of this money will go to capital expenditures, including technical equipment and special projects. There is also a "stretch" goal of $250,000 this year, which would allow for the purchase of a mobile recording kit.
The funding drive will end on Friday, October 27, at 6:00 pm.
For anyone who would like to pledge, you can call 403-220-5000 once the drive begins or go to fundingdrive.ca. There are some fine incentives at various pledge levels; check them out at fundingdrive.ca.
The Breaking The Tethers 2017 FD show will take place on Monday, October 23, 10:00-11:00 am, 90.9 FM, www.cjsw.com. I will be joined by frequent Breaking The Tethers guest host, Linda Cunningham. We'll chat and play some tracks off the mix CDs that will be available during the program (and all week, actually).
On that note, in addition to the station-level incentives, there will be three Breaking The Tethers mix CDs, each featuring music that has been featured on the show (I believe pretty much all in the last year, since the last funding drive). These CDs will be available at the $100 pledge level and higher. Here's what's on each one:
