One week a year, WJCU DJs get on the air and ask for donations to help support the station/keep the station running. That week, dubbed 'Radiothon' is fast approaching. Without Radiothon, WJCU would not be able to stay on the air. Its proceeds account for nearly 2/3 of our operating budget. Financial support for John Carroll University has continued to drop every year, and now the budget given to us by the school is at levels rivalling the early to mid 90s. With that reduced budget, look at everything WJCU offers now as opposed to 15 years ago. NEORocks alone showcases one very big feature paid for with donations during Radiothon -- The NEORock Sessions!
Please consider donating to WJCU this year. If every BAND that NEORocks has ever mentioned a concert for, or played their music, or whatever, donated just $10 NEORocks would raise well over $1000. Add to that you the fans, and that goes through through the roof! That is all we ask. If you are able to donate more, GREAT! But all we ask is a little bit of support so that we at NEORocks and WJCU can continue to support the local music scene. The local scene that make Cleveland such a great city. Please also help encourage your fans to consider contributing to radiothon!
NEORocks will be LIVE on the air Monday Feb 15, 2010 from 8-10pm and The E-Man will be live in studio Saturday Night Feb 20 Midnight-2am taking your pledges.
Tune in Monday night 8-10pm on 88.7fm/neorocks.com for your chance to win tickets to either of these shows! Feb 13: Audiblethread, Amplexus, Asleep, and Ohio Sky @ The HOB Cambridge Room Feb 23: Tropidelic @ The HOB on the MAINSTAGE with Badfish (A Sublime Tribute Band)
Remember, listeners can only win a ticket giveaway on WJCU once every 30 days!
Well it took us a while to get this posted, but finally here it is. The podcast of Leah Lou's in studio interview and performance from December 14, 2009!
In our efforts to increase interaction with you the fans, we have just setup a new RSS feed for NEORocks. Now when we post something to NEORocks.com, you'll also be able to see it on our Facebook page! Havee a suggestion to spruce up the site? Head on over to NEORocks.com and send us a message with the "Contact Us" feature.
In case you haven't noticed, the old Concert Calendar system hasn't been updated in a while. That's because we have been working on a new system that integrates with Google Calendar. This makes it 100x easier for us to update as well as making it easier to share with you. So, please be patient as I work the bugs out of this one. It will be worth the wait!
I'm also going to get a podcast of the Leah Lou up sometime today or tomorrow!
Tune in TONIGHT (Dec 7) for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the Afternoon Naps / Dreadful Yawns show at the Beachland Tavern. The show is THIS Thursday! Just listen for your cue to call!
