WVKO Needs Your Help to Keep Air America on the Air

WVKO-AM 1580 is Central Ohio’s “Air America” station, broadcasting Progressive Talk programs since December 2007.

There is good news and bad news about the station.

First the bad news:

Due to slow advertising sales, WVKO is currently having trouble paying its bills. Good, progressive Salespeople are hard to find in Central Ohio, especially for a startup mom-and-pop station like WVKO. The station now finds itself with unpaid bills, and may have to shut down if $50,000 is not raised within the next few weeks.

Now the good news:

Do you remember how it felt when Air America was pulled from the airwaves a year and a half ago? Air America fans were told that there was nothing they could do to help save that station. Well, this time there is a way for you to keep Air America on the air … through a generous donation to the station. By clicking on your choice of PayPal buttons below, your contribution will go directly toward keeping Air America on WVKO. If you wish to make a contribution by check, please see below.

This show of support from Progressives like you will keep the station on the air, and will enable WVKO management to pay off current debts. Salespeople will be assured that the station will remain on the air, enabling them to make sales calls with confidence.
