Congratulations to the folks over at WAMC our local public radio station, on the opening of their Performing Arts Center. Housed in a wonderful old bank building, it’s a great addition to the local concert and performance venues. I know that it will also make a great addition to what they make available on the air.
We’re lucky to have WAMC in the region (and it’s a BIG region). They provide lots of local programming and live music and other programs. Not sure where else you can hear dance music live in the evening, or live interviews with performers in the morning. Even their fund raising drives are fun to listen to AND they’re short and to the point: We need money to operate and you listen to our shows, so support us. As soon as we get the money we need, we’ll be back to regular programming. No you’re not buying a CD or a tape. You’re paying for the service that you use – our station’s programming. Anything you get in addition to that is gravy. They routinely raise $400-500,000 in four days.
Way to go WAMC!
