Fall 2022 Fundraiser Saturday Line-up: Over 12 hours of live DJs and guests

28 October 2022 216 1

Our Fall 22 Fundraiser will culminate on Saturday with over 12 hours of live DJs from 8AM to 10PM! Music, poetry, plays and more. If you haven’t had a chance to show your support this week, now is the time. We rely on your support to maintain our operations, from your help paying for our rental space on the tower to upgrading our infrastructure. Last fundraiser, your donations helped us to purchase a brand new mixing board (Arrakis Systems ARC-talk-Blue), a long overdue and massive upgrade from our previous board. That isn’t to say we aren’t grateful for our previous mixing board, the Allen and Heath XB13 – thank you for all of your time committed to the station. If you’re interested in purchasing a used broadcasting mixing board, email manager@gmcr.org.

With all that out of the way, here is our Saturday live extravaganza line-up
