Shorter is better ~ KALW listeners are the best!

KALW | By Matt Martin

We did it.  

In just 7-and-a-half days, KALW reached its Spring Campaign goal of $350,000.  That's more than the station raised in 14 days last September, and it happened without interruption to programming.

That is a real victory for listener-supported radio.  And it confirms what we always knew:  KALW listeners are the best. 

The web of people who support KALW – who power the station with their resources, talent, attention and enthusiasm – is growing.  And it's making this a more powerful and creative community enterprise. 

I could go on, of course.  But shorter is better.

Thank you.

Matt Martin, General Manager
