Roots and Rhythms
Wednesday October 25th, 2017 with Risque Renny
FUNDING DRIVE: Retro Renny's annual "SMUT FOR BUCKS" funding drive episode. In a blatant attempt to get your donations I'll be appealing to your baser nature by playing regally risque R&B from the KING & FEDERAL RECORD labels. Please donate what you can.

I'm shamelessly soliciting for your donations tonight by playing smutty R&B songs from label owner Syd Nathan's King and Federal record labels. Many of these songs were banned from the radio by the FCC who deemed the songs as being too suggestive for public airplay. Please donate money to keep public radio and this music on the air (and to help with any legal costs incurred from tonight's episode). WE NEED YOUR MONEY! So PLEASE donate what you can. Thank you.
Starting with tonight's show with a big organ and a perfect song for Funding Drive. Please folks, BRING THE MONEY IN by dancing and DONATING. Please phone (613) 520-3920 and pledge us some money to keep great music alive.

We pay over $50,000 a year in rent to Carleton University. $27,000 a year for Broadcast Tower Rental. $15,000 a year electricity bill for our Transmitter. $20,000 for licences. $22,000 for insurance. The Engineering Contract for CKCU is $35,000 a year. It all adds up and yet we bring you incredibly eclectic programming for about $50 and hour.
Unlike TVO we do not receive any money from the Ontario government and unlike the CBC we receive no money from the federal government. This is TRUE PUBLIC RADIO. We are staffed by volunteers and run by a skeleton crew of underpaid paid staff.
Please PUT SOME MONEY IN THE POT, 'CAUSE THE JUICE IS RUNNING LOW. Dial & Donate by pledging online at CKCUFM.com or phoning our pledge line at (613) 520-3920.
