Oh, hi, Vikki!! ;^)

I, too, am hoping that WDET suffers a *noticeable* drop in pledges. (I'm sure their Saturday pledge drive won't be the same...)

And, Ron, I know you weren't saying that specialty listeners do not donate--I guess I was just thinking that I know for a fact that Matt's show was in 2nd place (just behind 'Morning Edition') in pledge drive revenues--and, answering the phones during his show, I personally knew many of the callers I spoke with. I think that we have a small, vocal "specialty" group who are very generous at pledge time. I hope we can make them feel the pinch!

Folk/acoustic music is a pretty big deal around here--there are a lot of venues, a lot of musicians, a lot of organizations...but maybe not enough to make a big difference.
