WQLN Radio has been chosen to participate in a new public radio initiative created by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This campaign, called "My Source", is in the pilot stages now and is scheduled for a nation-wide rollout in the next year.
The goal of the initiative is to raise awareness for public broadcasting and both public radio and television stations across the country are involved. Stations large and small will be producing spots for their local airwaves; some spots will be chosen to air at the national level.
WQLN Radio is pleased to be involved with this initiative. We are honored to participate in this project as we celebrate one of the core values of public broadcasting: sharing stories.
For the next few months, WQLN gather stories from our listeners about what they love about public radio. A major tenet of this campaign is that every listener has a story to tell about why they listen and why they support public broadcasting. Some of these stories will be produced into thirty-second spots to air on WQLN Radio. Some may also be submitted to be used on the national level.
Listeners of public radio often describe "driveway moments," when a piece is so engaging you stay in your car to hear its conclusion. It may be local, national or international news. It may be a song, it may be part of an entertainment program. As we've learned throughout the years, our listeners have countless stories to share with us about why they support WQLN. Now it is your turn to share those stories with our local, regional and even national listening communities.
