CJAM 2020 Fundraiser & Shows # 854, 853

Every year CJAM FM holds an annual pledge drive o raise funds for the station. Being a non-profit campus based radio station, CJAM FM broadcasts to the Windsor/Detroit communities on 99.1 FM on the FM dial and is available to stream online through www.cjam.ca and through archived downloads. While the state of radio continues to change, CJAM still stays relevant in the programming and voice that it provides for spoken word and language based programs in addition music of all genres and types that would not have a platform otherwise.

This year CJAM has a goal of raising $30,000, which is 30% of their annual budget. The money goes towards funds for equipment, tariffs, insurance, staff salary, and other necessities for the general upkeep of the day-to-day operations at the station.  It is also going towards a proposed new website upgrade to bring us further into the digital age. By supporting CJAM, you are supporting independent, grassroots media that gives voice to those forgotten and ignored elsewhere. We generate very little in ad revenue and most of our ads are for local businesses. A program like Revolution Rock would not exist if it were not for something like CJAM FM. Every week the program digs deep into music often obscure and hard to find of the past, while also balancing it with newer music in garage, punk/new wave, surf, indie and related subgenres.

This year they are doing things a little bit differently. Since programs have had to switch to recording from home and the current state of the world with COVID 19, CJAM’s pledge drive is running from November 6th to November 20th, 2020. CJAM is currently in the middle of their fundraiser for 2020. If you’d like to show your support, here are the ways:

We also offer incentives as a thank you for your support.
