News about the Irish & Irish American culture, music, news, sports. This is hosted by the Irish Aires radio show on KPFT-FM 90.1 in Houston, Texas (a Pacifica community radio station)
August 12, 2006
Irish Aires Needs Your Support
It is that time of the year again. We need to ask for your
help so that the station can pay for necessary expenses to
stay on the air and to continue to try to bring quality
programming & information to Houston & the world (thru
the internet).
For you long time email subscribers, I know
that these pleas for help are not your favorite emails
(they are not mine!). Three or four times a year we need
to interrupt our normal procedures and WORK to pay for our
expenses. However, think of it this way: most people spend
40+ hours A week WORKING for their expenses. The Irish
Aires show only asks for your support 4 times a year.
For you new subscribers, let me fill you in on the
economics of the IRISH AIRES (IA) world.
We are completely non-profit and non-commercial.
ALL the work done on behalf of Irish Aires is done by
unpaid volunteers. KPFT is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization who does not solicit or take corporate
sponsorship money (except through “Employee Match”
programs).
Therefore, some 90% of our funding comes from individual
contributions which average about $60 a piece. The other
10% comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (aka
the US government). Without YOUR support we could not make
it.
IA is devoted to promoting Irish & Celtic culture. Let me
give you a list of what that entails:
BROADCASTS: Weekly local broadcasts of the Irish Aires
radio show (Saturdays 6:00-7:00PM Central Time in the US –
Midnight to 1PM in Ireland on 90.1FM in Houston & 98.5FM in
Galveston) and live on the internet OR archived prior shows on the internet.
