I declare this the LAST WECK thread ever!

Something else worth considering is to implement alternative sources of income for the station, including accepting donations.

You may be on to something......

How about:
For a $10 donation, WECK will play an hour of YOUR selections!
For a $20 donation, WECK will incorporate your name into the positioning statements every break!
For a $50 donation, WECK will be named after YOU for a day! (It's Bev 1230)
And for a $100 donation, you decide the format for a day, AND Mr. Greene will mow your lawn or shovel your driveway, depending on the time of year.

This is ratings-proof fellas!

I think some of your ideas are a bit out there, but giving away stuff for a substantial donation would be IMNSHO a great idea! This could consist of small stuff like coffee cups, a radio, compact stereo or a CD made my the station. Maybe hold a dance or sponsor a car show.

Bob Bittner owns both WJTO Bath ME and WJIB Cambridge MA; both of which survive primarily on donations http://wjib740.com/. I know that WPAZ Pottstown PA survives partly on advertisement and I believe partly on donations. That is really an innovative station worth checking out.

BTW I was listening to WECK online early this morning and heard some obscure tunes I've never heard before. One tune I did recognize was "Romeo And Juliet" by Dire Straits.

The mainfesto has been found.

It aired on 2/15/11, meaning Brad's run at taking out Entercom Buffalo didn't even make it to 5 months.

Enjoy:

Something about this manifesto, especially the beginning, that I am compelled to listen to over and over again.

The acting at the start is sooooooooooo bad, it's good. Radio guys should be a lot better at pretending or reenacting. It's all oral and vocal inflection and performance. Except in the manifesto...lol.
