WDET Public Radio Needs You!

People like you who value news and information are undoubtedly aware that President Trump has signed a bill that eliminates federal funding for public media. WDET Public Radio and our community put up quite a fight – first in the U.S House, then the Senate, but we lost.

Previously approved Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) funding for WDET and other public media is being “rescinded” – a government word for taken back, cancelled, or my favorite, “clawed-back.”  In our country, the president gets to suggest a budget, but it’s the US Congress who actually puts the budget together and approves it.  This money was already approved by Congress, but the President demanded they take it back.  And they did.   It’s a darn shame and a devastating blow to public radio and TV stations across the country.

The airwaves are public. These radio airwaves are akin to the air breathe.  Independent radio is democracy’s oxygen.   They exist for everyone and that’s why the government through the Federal Communications Commission manages the airwaves – so they are used properly and accessible to all.  The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the CPB to make sure public radio and public TV could serve the country in every corner of it with non-commercial programming that serves every member of the community.  Public media serves the public good – not advertisers.  Public media belongs to the American people.  We tell your stories, strengthen civil society and keep you informed.  We elevate voices that do not get heard and we enrich lives with arts and culture programming. 

WDET public radio has been a community service in Detroit and for Detroit for 76 years.

It’s a sock in the gut to WDET to lose these federal funds. This loss leaves a significant hole in our annual funding. Our Community Service grant from CPB is the largest single source of funds WDET receives each year…and just like that, it’s gone.

In my opinion, this is just a targeted attempt to dismantle one of the most trusted institutions in America. Public media had significant bipartisan support throughout its history. This attack on independent journalism is part of a broader attack on our democracy, our communities, and our shared values of freedom and liberty. The attack was aimed at NPR, but it really hurts communities across the country, including metro Detroit.

The grant dollars will be hard to replace, but there is more in jeopardy.  Federal funding pays for our music licensing, the satellite system we use to send news back and forth from Detroit, and funds to keep our emergency broadcast equipment current. There are lots of implications to this cut- especially for WDET which offers news, music and public affairs programming. 

Listeners keep asking me, “What will we do?” Honestly, this presents terrible choices for programming if cuts are needed. I will be reading the results of our current listener survey with keen eyes looking for clues about what you can live without. It’s a task I do not relish and from the last two years of survey data, you usually want MORE of the unique, locally produced programming that defines and differentiates WDET.  And WDET has delivered adding more music programming and much more locally produced programming.  82% of every hour of our broadcast is locally produced.  And there are important services we provide like the Detroit Radio Information Service (DRIS) – a radio station within a radio station with programming targeting people who are blind, have reading challenges or are socially isolated.  We are proud to have local volunteers from this community read EL CENTRAL Hispanic News each week.  DRIS is available free of charge to anyone who can access our signal online at WDET.org/DRIS or through a special receiver. 

WDET’s Internship program gives professional broadcast experience to the next generation.  And we pay our interns!  There is so much at stake for this community.

This is gnarly fight. Our army of supporters needs back-up! With the majority of our funding coming from people in gifts of $5 or $10 or $20 a month, we are redoubling our efforts to increase our army of supporters.  In the past two months, we have increased our membership by 1,000 people.  In September, we will have our most important on- air fundraiser of the year.  And this year, it may very well be our most important on-air fundraiser ever! 

Yes, anyone anywhere in the world can listen to WDET for free, but as of today only 11,000 of our 200,000 listeners are current contributing members—that’s only 5%. And since we increased our local programming, our audience has grown 21%. That’s incredible, but new listeners need to become new members.

Are you a current member? If you let your contribution expire beyond the past 12 months, you are not a current member. If your sustaining monthly gift is on a credit card that has expired or changed, you are not a current member. 

If WDET makes your life better or makes this community better, the station needs your financial support.  There are many ways to give:

  • Consider adding the station to your will or trust to sustain us for the next generation of listeners after your death.
  • Open a door for us to your company or corporation to seek on-air sponsorship support.
  • Use all your social media channels to share the link to our giving page.
  • Sponsor one of our events to reduce our fundraising expenses.
  • Ask a few friends to step up and pay for the great programming you turned them on to.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. If you care about community-focused, independent public media — WDET informs you, moves you and helps you feel connected — this is your moment to act. Thank you..

¡La radio pública WDET te necesita!

Personas como tú, que valoran las noticias y la información, seguramente ya saben que el presidente Trump firmó una ley que elimina el financiamiento federal para los medios públicos. WDET Public Radio y nuestra comunidad dimos una buena pelea—primero en la Cámara de Representantes, luego en el Senado, pero perdimos.

Los fondos previamente aprobados de la Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) para WDET y otros medios públicos están siendo “rescindidos”—una palabra del gobierno para decir que se los llevan de vuelta, que los cancelan o, como me gusta decir, que nos los “arrancan de las manos.” En nuestro país, el presidente puede proponer un presupuesto, pero es el Congreso de Estados Unidos quien realmente lo arma y lo aprueba. Este dinero ya había sido aprobado por el Congreso, pero el presidente exigió que lo devolvieran. Y lo hicieron. Es una verdadera lástima y un golpe devastador para las estaciones de radio y televisión públicas en todo el país.

Las ondas radiales son públicas. Son como el aire que respiramos. La radio independiente es el oxígeno de la democracia. Existen para todos y por eso el gobierno, a través de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones (Federal Communications Commission), administra las ondas radiales: para que se usen de manera correcta y estén al alcance de todos. La Ley de Radiodifusión Pública de 1967 (Public Broadcasting Act) creó la CPB para asegurar que la radio y la televisión públicas pudieran servir a todo el país, en cada rincón, con programación no comercial para todos los miembros de la comunidad. Los medios públicos sirven al bien común, no a los anunciantes. Los medios públicos pertenecen al pueblo estadounidense. Contamos tus historias, fortalecemos la vida cívica y te mantenemos informado. Le damos voz a quienes no son escuchados y enriquecemos la vida con programación de arte y cultura.

WDET ha sido un servicio comunitario en y para Detroit por 76 años.

Perder estos fondos federales es como un golpe directo al estómago para WDET. Esta pérdida deja un hueco enorme en nuestro presupuesto anual. Nuestra subvención de servicio comunitario de la CPB es la fuente de ingresos más grande que recibe WDET cada año… y así, de un día para otro, desapareció.

En mi opinión, esto es un intento dirigido a desmantelar una de las instituciones más confiables de Estados Unidos. Los medios públicos han contado con un apoyo bipartidista importante a lo largo de su historia. Este ataque contra el periodismo independiente es parte de un ataque más amplio contra nuestra democracia, nuestras comunidades y nuestros valores compartidos de libertad. El golpe fue dirigido a NPR, pero realmente lastima a comunidades en todo el país, incluyendo al área metropolitana de Detroit.

Será muy difícil reemplazar estos fondos, y hay más en riesgo. El financiamiento federal paga por nuestras licencias de música, el sistema satelital que usamos para enviar y recibir noticias desde Detroit, y el equipo para mantener actualizadas nuestras alertas de emergencia. El recorte tiene muchas implicaciones—especialmente para WDET, que ofrece noticias, música y programación de interés público.

Los oyentes me siguen preguntando: “¿Qué vamos a hacer?” Sinceramente, esto nos pone frente a decisiones terribles sobre la programación si es que debemos hacer recortes. Estoy revisando con mucha atención los resultados de nuestra encuesta de oyentes, buscando pistas sobre qué podrías vivir sin. No es una tarea que me guste, y según los datos de los últimos dos años, la mayoría de ustedes quiere MÁS de la programación única, producida localmente, que define y distingue a WDET. Y WDET ha cumplido, sumando más música y mucha más programación local. El 82% de cada hora que transmitimos se produce aquí mismo.

Además, ofrecemos servicios importantes como el Detroit Radio Information Service (DRIS) —una estación de radio dentro de otra estación, con programación para personas ciegas, con dificultades de lectura o en aislamiento social. Nos enorgullece contar con voluntarios locales que leen cada semana EL CENTRAL Hispanic News. DRIS está disponible gratis para cualquier persona que pueda acceder a nuestra señal en línea en WDET.org/DRIS o a través de un receptor especial.

Nuestro programa de prácticas profesionales ofrece experiencia en radio a la próxima generación. ¡Y les pagamos a nuestros practicantes! Hay mucho en juego para nuestra comunidad.

Esta es una pelea dura de verdad. Nuestro ejército de oyentes necesita refuerzos. Como la mayoría de nuestros fondos provienen de personas que aportan $5, $10 o $20 al mes, estamos redoblando esfuerzos para aumentar esa base. En los últimos dos meses, hemos sumado mil nuevos miembros. En septiembre tendremos nuestra recaudación al aire más importante del año. Y este año, podría ser la más importante de nuestra historia.

Sí, cualquiera en cualquier parte del mundo puede escuchar WDET gratis, pero hoy solo 11,000 de nuestros 200,000 oyentes son miembros que contribuyen activamente —eso es solo el 5%. Y desde que aumentamos nuestra programación local, nuestra audiencia creció un 21%. Es increíble, pero necesitamos que los nuevos oyentes se conviertan en nuevos miembros.

¿Eres miembro activo? Si dejaste que tu contribución venciera por más de 12 meses, no eres miembro activo. Si tu donación mensual automática está ligada a una tarjeta de crédito vencida o cambiada, no eres miembro activo.

Si WDET mejora tu vida o mejora nuestra comunidad, la estación necesita tu apoyo económico. Hay muchas maneras de ayudar:

  • Incluye a la estación en tu testamento o fideicomiso para sostenerla para la próxima generación de oyentes después de tu fallecimiento.
  • Ábrenos la puerta con tu empresa o compañía para que podamos buscar patrocinio al aire.
  • Usa todas tus redes sociales para compartir el enlace a nuestra página de donaciones.
  • Patrocina uno de nuestros eventos para reducir gastos de recaudación.
  • Invita a algunos amigos a aportar para que sigamos ofreciendo la gran programación que les presentaste.

Este es un momento de todos manos a la obra. Si te importa una radio pública independiente, enfocada en la comunidad – WDET te informa, te inspira y te conecta – este es tu momento de actuar. Gracias.
