Day 4: MSPR Fall Fundraiser and Membership Drive

Nieman Lab

Time is running-out!

Here we are on Day 4 of Morehead State Public Radio’s (WMKY at 90.3FM) Fall Fundraiser and Membership Drive.

So far, totals are $8,250 towards the $15,000 goal and 102 members towards a goal of 200.

MSPR is reliant on listener support and every gift of any amount is vital to our overall success. Your tax-deductible gift to MSPR this fall supports our student work-study program.

MSPR students learn valuable job skills such as leadership, meeting deadlines, problem-solving, self-confidence and time-management. WMKY is eastern Kentucky’s first public radio station.

Since that first day on June 15, 1965, WMKY has served more than 20 counties throughout eastern Kentucky, southern Ohio and western West Virginia with award-winning news, community engagement and cultural programming. MSPR needs your help to serve the communities in this Appalachian region through news, information and a variety of locally-hosted music programs.

Donations to MSPR are tax-deductible and your gift of any amount does make a difference. In this election year, cast your vote for listener-supported public radio from Morehead State University by making a gift to MSPR today.
