*The station reached the $70,000 level during the program! That was a really wonderful thing to happen.
*I don't have a final total for the number of people who pledged during BTT (I'll have that in the coming weeks) but there were a bunch of folks who did. Money-wise, again, I don't have a final figure but it's somewhere in the hundreds. Many, many thanks to everyone who donated during the program!
*Many thanks also to CJSW station manager, Adam Kamis, who joined me on air for most of the show. It's always good to hear his perspective on the funding drive and CJSW.
*This week's edition of BTT was mostly talk but, interestingly, I did manage play more music than I expected I would play. All of the tracks came from the Breaking The Tethers 2023 Funding Drive mix (available at the $100 donation level). You can see a list of everything played and listen to the show (again) here.
I am a lucky man. I get to host my show during this year's funding drive AND I get to guest-host another CJSW program, Alternative To What, this week. The regular host, Kerry Clarke, is away so she has kindly handed me the reigns for this important edition of ATW. We will track Kerry down and give her a call during the show. Everyone is welcome to join me on Thursday, October 27, from 4 to 6 pm MT, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM. There'll be some great tunes played and there will be many fantastic incentives available for pledging.
On the subject of pledging, you can definitely still donate. You can call 403-220-5000 or go to csjw.com/donate.
I'll be back next week with a more regular edition of Breaking The Tethers. I will have an interview with one or two of the guys from Peripheral Vision, who have a new record out. We'll chat and play some of their new tunes. Go to cjsw.com or 90.9 FM on Monday, October 30, from 10 to 11 am MT.
Many thanks.
Andrew
