KQED Offers "Pledge Free Stream" To Listeners Who Pledge Early

[DToTheJ]

Yes, for just $45, KQED listeners who pledge in advance of the start of the May pledge drive will gain access to a special stream, which will be void of any pledge breaks during programming.

Hmm, a kind of bribery. Clever! I like it.

Sounds OK to me, too. Problem is, I listen to KQED primarily in my car, so this won't help.

I donated a car to KQED about 5 years ago. It was worth about $1,500 on the used car market. I figured this would buy me about 10 years of guilt-free listening, but KQED didn't agree. After a year, they were hitting me up for more money - I guess they think that charitable tax break should have been enough...
