Dear Friend of This Way Out, Just a handful of syndicated community radio shows really and truly make a difference in our communities. KGNU has found that "This Way Out" is a genuine inspiration for the people of Boulder. It's been nearly 15 years since "This Way Out" went on the air and carrying it was considered kind of risky. Since then many more of our stations have locally produced lesbian and gay programming, but as good as these shows are -- and lots of them were sparked by volunteers who got the idea from "This Way Out" -- they don't provide the international reach that "This Way Out" does. And it's that global perspective, along with the show's stylish production, which I think makes it a favorite with lots of the folks who to listen to our stations... not just the lesbian and gay community. Those of us who are passionate about building a worldwide grassroots radio network appreciate "This Way Out" because it's built on that kind of network. Their team includes volunteer contributors from Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia/New Zealand, as well as all over the U.S., and the show is now taking their work to listeners on local stations in more than a half-dozen countries. Another reason we appreciate "This Way Out" is because, in the spirit of real grassroots radio and to ensure that money won't be an obstacle for those who most need the program, the producers have always been committed to dist ributing the program to stations free of charge. Most of the time they're so "discreetly optimistic" about their financial situation that we all assume that everything's fine and that "This Way Out" will just keep coming down the line to us forever. But this great program could be in jeopardy. Likely because of economic downturn, the money didn't come in last year as expected, though the team worked harder than ever on grant writing and other fundraising efforts. They have a big New Year donor campaign going on with some special deals for listeners, so it's by no means "curtains" yet. However, if they're going to make it over this hump, they could use any help we can offer. A while back "This Way Out" did make it known that voluntary "program acquisition" contributions from stations that carry the show would be more than welcomed and a few of us did respond. KGNU intends to make a donation of $500 to show how we feel about this valuable service. I'm sure there are plenty more stations who can afford to match our commitment. We've been getting it free -- and pitching around it for ourselves -- for years! Please let Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon know that your station has heard the call and is coming forward with a donation. You can e-mail him at TWORadio@aol.com, or call 818-986-4106. Or just send a check made out to either "This Way Out" or to their nonprofit corporate name of Overnight Productions (Inc.) to P.O. Box 38327, Los Angeles, CA, 90038. If after careful thought you really, truly, honestly, and definitely can't come up with even a tiny contribution anytime in the near future, why not drop a note just to add your moral support? It would mean a whole lot to the folks at "This Way Out." Sincerely, Marty Durlin KGNU Station Manager Co-founder, Grassroots Radio Coalition **********************************************************************
