Free Your Local Radio from the dire straits

From 2009 free radios will indefinitely have to draw on their own meagre reserves. The regional office of communication, which is situated in Stuttgart, is cutting down 50 percent of its base subsidies. In addition to this, these financial means will be defined as project bound bids so that they can be used as steering devices that ultimately weaken the longstanding solidarity between free radio stations in Baden Württemberg. Eventually, the free radios will both be compelled to tend to their dire financial situation, due to the dried out monetary sources, and compete with each other for public funding.
We would be really grateful if you could please support our local radio. We need you so that we can remain independent and keep showing solidarity. For these reasons, we have already drastically reduced the emergency contribution. Thus, people from various walks of life can make a great difference by donating small “noshes”. Our memberships are available for a budget price : 20 Euros a year only.
