SUPPORT WFDD? PLEASE DON'T

"FROM BOONE TO BURLINGTON" THE BULLHORN BITCH assaults listeners ears! With typical corse Waste Forrest Bastard U. Non-stop self promotion and pan handling  for undeserved support (medical overcharging, admissions cheating)

"SUPPORT FOR WFDD comes from" a few sucker listeners AND FROM DOZENS OF COMMERCIALS ( "don't donate? It'll be here") Of course it will !! WFDD's only real priority is crass commercialism. Listener support is a standing joke. 

SO "UNDERWRITERS" Truthfully, most listeners don't want to hear your messages barked at them every 20 minutes (Preceded by Advertising Bennett's folksy homily) or at 8 am, 12 noon and 4 pm EVERY 5 minutes! 

When given half a chance MOST AREA NPR "LISTENERS" will prefer to listen to WUNC-FM or other or any other NPR station with a smooth, respectful, intelligent transition between financial support and programming throughout the newsday! 

 Only those of us stuck with poor radio reception options are forced to "PAY" for our NPR news by tolerating the crass abuse and ceaseless greed pretending to be a "public service" of the WFBU private monopoly. 

SO BEFORE YOU DONATE OR SUPPORT WFDD 88.5 FM (WINSTON SALEM NC)

Ask the station: 

How much they are paid by Advertising ?

How much sustained support they would need to be mostly or fully commercial-free?

Require the station to stop claiming LISTENER support then following it with 3-6 ad spots! (Tacky)

Require the station to cease redundant, monotonous use of the word "support". (Tacky)

Require the station to stop RAISING THE VOLUMN when advertising  (forces us to turn down the volumn, change channels or turn off and forget RADIO !!  (Promoting exercise, saves energy restores peace to our homes and businesses) !

Require the station to fire the (bull horn bitch, support Nazi) general manager!!!

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN PLEDGE DRIVES FOR LOCAL "COMMERCIAL-PUBLIC-RADIO" - Brought to us by Newt and the Republicans!

My local NPR station constantly tells me that 86% of their financial support "comes from listeners" and that differentiates "Public" radio from private commercial radio stations.   But yet every spare minute between sentences a STERN WOMAN comes on to remind me that my local PUBLIC radio is "SUPPORTED BY" a few LISTENERS "AND FROM" three or four PRIVATE COMMERCIAL SPONSORS or PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATIONS to make up the difference when not enough listeners give financial support AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S previously generous support was strangled to a trickle in the 1990's by the conservative geniuses like NEWT GINGRICH who bring Americans many similar quality of life enhancements such as poor healthcare, shoddy education, and increased air pollution among others. 

PUBLIC RADIO COMMERCIALISM IS JUST AS AND SOMETIMES  MORE ANNOYING AND MONOTONOUS THAN COMMERCIAL STATION'S ADVERTISING.  Even so I continue to suffer through it every day, even during PLEDGE DRIVES (which are still followed by three or four commercials!) because the news and programming is more informative than infotainment media. 

MAKE YOUR GIFT RIGHT NOW SO YOU CAN HEAR LESS OF THE "SUPPORTED-BY" .... "AND FROM" LADY's .... FOUR OR FIVE ANNOYING AND MONOTONOUS COMMERCIALS !!!!   

The fact is "LISTENERS" support is how public radio stations create RATINGS to sell ADVERTISING SPOTS to commercial sponsors (who're needed to compensate for lack of listener and federal contributions)  So "Listener supported" is only partly true or they wouldn't have so many "ADS" But they hate to admit that there's a big fat ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
