89.7 KMSU Pledge Drive

89.7 KMSU FM in Mankato is currently holding its fall pledge drive in which the station asks listeners to show their support with a financial donation.

Pledge drives have two goals. The first is obvious: to generate the money that will keep KMSU on the air. Your donations cover the day-to-day overhead expenses of running the station so that the station's volunteers and staff can keep the programming coming to you.

The second goal of a pledge drive is about public relations. Space and money are at a premium across higher education. Your pledges demonstrate to the university that KMSU is an important and valued part of the community and allow the station and its staff to justify its existence. This means that the amount you give is not as important as the fact that you do give.

To make a pledge to KMSU, please call 507-389-5678 or 1-800-456-7810. You can also visit www.kmsu.org and click on the "donate" icon. Leave your name, address, phone number, and the amount you would like to pledge. Please do not leave credit card information in an email or voicemail as they are not secure.

The October 28th edition of Sounds of Cinema heard on 89.7 KMSU FM will be a speical pledge drive edition that will showcase what this program has to offer. Those listening from 89.5 KQAL FM will hear the regularly scheduled broadcast, featuring a look at films about ghosts, hauntings, and the beyond.
