KSPS 150th Canada Day and $150 Appeal

By |

KPS aired 7 hours of Canada-focused programming in celebration of Canada Day on July 1st. Half our donors live in Canada and we knew they’d appreciate the love. We also secured Canada streaming rights for many of the shows that we promoted on social media and through a targeted email series. Openers received an email on the morning of reminding them of the event and following up with an ask for a “celebratory” $150 donation in honor of the 150th Canada day. We received $3,200 from 24 donors, 3,100 digital streams and 175 likes, comments or shares.  

Locally Produced Benefit CDs

By |

In 2010 one of our WGUC announcers asked his musician friends to record an acoustic adaptation of a Christmas classic. The collection was compiled into a CD called the RING CD and Cincinnati Public Radio offered it as a gift during the fall fund drive. It became one of our most popular gifts; musicians loved being a part of the project; it is a strong LOCALLY produced CD. Results to date: 3,774 CD requests and $377,400+ raised from CD sales.
