I was listening to KEXP this morning online in Seattle – they’ve been a big supporter of many of our local acts in recent years. Well, they’re actually on the last day of their pledge drive over there. If I did my math correctly, it’ll be history at around 4 p.m. today Central time.
While I highly doubt that we’ll catch San Fransisco or Chicago, it would be interesting to see just how many of us actually listen (though those of us that listen that can also pledge is another story). Check their City to City Challenge page for more information. The winning city gets a live remote…
and while you’re at it, how about submitting an answer for our new Magic City Question – What’s your favorite radio station?
