OUR FINANCIAL CHALLENGE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BIG: PLEASE READ THIS   We received a letter from the American Tower Company (ATC) telling us that we were behind on our tower rental and utility fees. ATC demands $13,555  by next week! Good Grief!  ATC says if we don't pay they could cut off the electricity to our  transmitter and/or seize our equipment Our commitment to you the listener and progressive participant is that we will keep your radio station solvent.… But we need your commitment to emergency fund raising to overcome this crisis. We're not going to let ATC or anybody else seize our radio station; you will not allow this either. Good news: A friend of KNSJ and all things progressive has put out a challenge grant.  He will donate $1500 to the Emergency Fund, if we can raise $1500 in the next 48 hours. We have 2 people who threw in $100, another pledging to ask friends for donations, others will create a house party event, others a cultural fundraiser. Get your creative juices going ASAP.
