CHLY 101.7FM Spring Fund Drive

Our neighbours down on the China Steps, CHLY radio 101.7FM, are in the midst of their spring fund drive and could use your help. We are big fans of theirs, as you might know, as we almost always have them tuned in on the radio in the shop.

As a not-for-profit society, Radio Malaspina brings listeners independent programming free of the influences of corporately driven profits. Some of our funding comes from the students at VIU’s Nanaimo campus, and some from advertising for local businesses….but most of it comes from community members like you. Listeners that believe in community access to the media!

Different ways you can contribute during the 2012 Spring Fund Drive:

All you have to do:

  1. Decide this media is too important to lose, and decide what you can afford
  2. Call 1-855-740-1017
  3. Chat for a minute
  4. Then pay online or come downtown Nanaimo and check out our studios (Just down the stairs next to Black and Blue Tattoo across from Port Place Mall. The stairs are at the end of the big parking lot)
