CJSW Funding Drive 2023

So, CJSW Funding Drive 2023 is upon us. This is a vitally important time for Calgary's campus and community radio station, when we call upon our fine listeners to help support the station, to enable CJSW to continue to offer the fantastic, amazing programs that it does and to help it grow, develop, and more! If you'd like to donate, you can do so online here. Alternately, you can call 403-220-5000 through 6 pm on Thursday, October 28 and pledge over the phone. You can pay right away or there is a monthly instalment option. There are incentives at various donation levels; these can be seen here.

The Breaking The Tethers 2023 Funding Drive show will take place tomorrow, Monday, October 23, from 10 to 11 am MT, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM. I’ll be spinning some tracks for the BTT digital mix o’ tunes, which will be available as a pledge incentive. All the tracks in the mix have been played on BTT since the 2022 Funding Drive. Here's a list of what's in the mix:

Astrocolor - "Singularity"

Association P.C. - "Totemism"

The Muffins - "Three days that won't soon fade"

Chet Doxas - "House of Ypres"

Ksawery Wojcinski - "1st impression"

Pete McCann - "Trifecta"

Miriodor - "Boomerang"

Soft Machine - "Backwards"

Jason Dole - "Of being disturbed"

Patricia Brennan - "El nahualli (the shadow soul)"

Noah Howard - "This place called earth"

Raoul Bjorkenheim & Krakatau - "Foot talk"

Joe Henderson - "Current events"

Todd Marcus - "Ground zero (at Penn. & North)"

Delvon Lamar Organ Trio - "Move on up"

There will be other incentives during the live show as well. I’m hoping everyone can join me. 

I should also note that I’ll be hosting the Funding Drive edition of another fine CJSW program, the long-running Alternative To What? (cjsw.com/program/alternative-to-what/). The host, Kerry Clarke, will be away (though we’ll track her down by phone and chat with her during the broadcast) and has deputized me to fill in. You can hang with me on ATW on Thursday, October 27, 4 to 6 pm, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

I’ll be posting updates on social media. My Twitter handle is @01Waller and I’m on Facebook at www.facebook.com/andrew.waller.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me at wallersmooth@gmail.com.

Many thanks.

Andrew
