The late Dr Morbius used to start these WFMU fundraising threads.
Need to contribute again

The surest sign of how much I depend on them for most of my listening is how much I hate marathon time and having to pick my own music for 2+ weeks rather than listen to the hosts fundraise.

Just a few more days! Quite a ways to go to meet their goal

Aw, I just saw Dr. Morbius on the video stream showing old marathon footage.

I sort of can’t believe this is the year (of all years!) they reached the goal.

I wonder if WFMU listeners are less likely to be living check to check, so they had the freedom to pass along some of their stimulus dollars?

Oh jesus, really? This is what Jersey City wants to do with its time? Going to put something together and send in tomorrow.

And just like that, according to ILX, (jon /via/ chi 2.0) singlehandedly saves WFMU.

xp Good. There's some conflicting reporting on this, though -- an un-bylined story on tapinto.net* says that the threat was coming from the state tax assessor, and the tweet above says the Jersey City tax office was the bad guy.
*I have no idea if tapinto.net does reputable reporting.

I think the Jersey City tax assessor works for the state rather than the city?
― Notes on Scampo (tokyo rosemary), Wednesday, 19 May 2021 21:40 (four years ago)
WFMU is the only station I know of to educate people about the cultural contributions of Dr. Morbius, which ought to be enough right there.
