This week marks CJAM FM’s fall fundraiser. Every year CJAM holds a pledge drive in which they raise funds to keep providing the unique programming that they offer every day. CJAM FM is a non-profit campus/community based radio station that provides music and spoken word programming to different parts of the Windsor/Detroit areas through 99.1 FM and online through downloads/streaming and archives at www.cjam.ca.
Earlier this year the Ontario Government announced a new change in university tuition fees giving student the ability to opt-out of any fees deemed non-essential under the Student Choice Initiative, which included campus radio. With no consultation or warning before the announcement, CJAM FM staff and volunteers were left scrambling to raise funds in the few months before the fall semester began to ensure financial stability. At the University of Windsor, CJAM FM has seen a 29% opt-out rate for the 2019 fall semester. This represents a decrease in the student levy fund of about $15,700 for the station. If the opt-out percentage remains the same for upcoming the winter semester, the station will lose roughly $31,400 this school year. “The fall fundraiser is extremely important for us because it represents a significant portion of our annual budget. While effectively combatting the loss in fees makes us optimistic, the fundraiser has always represented approximately 30% of our annual budget and is essential in maintaining our ability to broadcast.” Station Manager Brady Holek stated in a recent press release.
For over 35 years now CJAM FM has continued to provide quality programming in the Windsor/Detroit areas often highlighting many events and issues while providing a different outlook from the usual mainstream media outlets. We also have a strong online audience that listens through our archives and live stream that is listened to worldwide. As I stated last year “CJAM provides the listener with something you won’t find anywhere else. A program like Revolution Rock would not exist anywhere else if it were not for a place like CJAM FM. If you listen to CJAM, regardless of how, consider making a donation to help the station continue to grow in the world of the broadcast arts that it provides on a daily basis."
