Membership News

Thanks again to everyone who supported the station during our recent membership campaign. We still have $23,497.50 left to raise. If you haven't donated to WCBE in the past 6 months, please do so today and support a service you USE and VALUE.

In addition to saying "thank you", I'd like to say "congratulations" to the hundreds of people who entered our Festival Ticket Giveaways and iPad Mini Giveaways. Here is a complete list of our winners and why they choose to support WCBE!

It's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! like you've never seen it before! Because, well, normally you can't see it -- it's a radio show.

UPDATE - GOAL MET!
June 21, 2013: As the station comes to the end of our fiscal year, we'd like to thank the over 5500 listeners who supported us over the past twelve months. Listeners like YOU have made a difference for WCBE, helping us raise over $720,000 in member donations.
