Yes indeed, the pleading for financial support has begun. KOOP is a completely non-profit community station that is staffed solely by volunteers save for 2 paid positions. Just like other public broadcasters, we operate day to day on funds donated by listeners and the local business community. "This Great White North" raised $195.00 during our 1/2 hour show today. A big thanks to those who pledged.
Please visit www.koop.org and donate online. Cheers
