Once again, it's Funding Drive time for CJSW, Calgary's campus and community radio station. This is vital time for CJSW, when we call upon our awesome listeners for their support.
Here's the basic information about the Drive this year:
*The Drive runs from Friday, October 17 through Friday, October 24 (ending at 6 pm that day).
*The theme is Play/Connect/Discover:
*The goal is $200,000.
*Individual CJSW programs also have show-specific incentives. These are in addition to the station-level stuff and will vary from show to show.
*There are payment options available, including monthly payments.
*A minimum of $20 raised. I think we can get there 😀.
*Next level up is $200. I suspect we can reach this level as well.
*The top level that I'd like to hit is $2000. BTT has been in this territory in the past a few times but not for a number of years. I'm hoping we can remedy this in 2025!
There will also be a special Breaking The Tethers musical mix available at the $35 donation level. This is made up of a bunch of awesome tunes that were all featured on BTT episodes. I'll post a tracklist for the mix later today.
I'll also have some show-specific incentives, including some great jazz and jazz-adjacent CDs. These include:
Eric Alexander - Timing is everything
Vanish Gould - She's not shiny, she's not smooth
Brother Jack McDuff - Ain't no sunshine
Vincente Arthur - Short stories
Atlantis Jazz Ensemble - Celestial suite
Dwarfs of East Agouza - Sasquatch landslide
There may be other (non-CD) BTT incentives available (you'll need to listen in to find out!)
I'll also be appearing on another fine CJSW program during Funding Drive, Alternative To What? I occasionally fill in on ATW and regular host Kerry Clarke has kindly invited me to join her for the 2025 Drive edition of ATW. We'll be on air on Thursday, October 23, from 4 to 6 pm, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.
That's all! Many thanks.
Andrew
