GUEST,Karen M. Obit: Folk, bluegrass radio in Detroit (113* d) RE: Obit: Folk, bluegrass radio in Detroit 07 Nov 04

Gosh, you folks are fast!

WEMU's fund drive was during the same time frame as WDET and WUOM and all the rest. (Some years ago NPR figured out that we *really* don't like to listen to pledge periods, and if they all run the beg-a-thon simulataneously there's no escape.)

After I threw $1 at WDET, I rang up WEMU. (I no longer live in metro Detroit, and was driving home to Grand Rapids at the time.) While WDET did not read a thank-you on air (probably because the phone answerers were in West Bombay), their friends down the street milked this for all it was worth. "If someone from **Grand Rapids** can pledge, you can too!!"

Interestingly, WEMU deleted a popular progam a couple of years ago, and that host found a local commercial station willing to pick him up. www.thayrone.com.
