Hello Friends,

I've done many stints of on-air hosting throughout my adult life. Most of my past gigs have been at college radio stations, where a large portion, if not all, of the funding comes from the school budget. Chirp is not a part of, nor funded by, a large institution like a university. As you are well aware, we also don't sell (and force you to listen to) advertising as a commercial radio station does. We rely on listeners like you to support our programming by contributing a couple of times a year. If you like what you hear, or if you just want to support your pal Fred, please make a one-time or monthly donation by clicking DONATE to the right. Thank you.

Fred

CHIRP is your community radio station.

Great music. No commercials. Real DJs. CHIRP is proud to provide you with live, local radio every single day, with passionate, curious DJs who love to share their musical discoveries.

Your generous support makes everything we do possible. Whether operating through a global pandemic or during normal times, we're always here for you: live, local, connecting you with your community. And as a listener-supported radio station, we rely on your generosity to keep the station strong, never beholden to corporate interests.

If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we hope you'll support CHIRP with a gift today.

If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit CHIRP's main donation page to make your contribution (and to give in support of the person making this post, be sure to type their full name in the "volunteer to credit" section so they can receive credit for your gift).
