This past week marked CJAM FM’s annual funding drive. Once a year, CJAM does a week of programming devoted to raising funds for their funding drive. Being a non-profit campus and community based radio station CJAM FM’s fundraising looks to raise a $30,000 to maintain CJAM’s daily operations. As has been stated in the past, CJAM relies on listener and community support to continue broadcasting. For 38 years, CJAM FM has been offering music and spoken word programming unlike anywhere else in Windsor/Detroit and online through downloads/streaming and archives at www.cjam.ca.
In addition to broadcasting at 99.1 FM in Windsor/Detroit, CJAM has large online listenership. People listen from all over. Nowhere else will you hear this much independent, local, international, obscure, older, non-pop, non-commercial music. If you're sick of hearing the same 10 songs on mainstream radio, consider donating and thanking the hosts who dig each week to find the music you hear on CJAM. These funds go towards equipment, insurance, digital music storage space, staff salary, and other necessities that allow CJAM to operate day-to-day. CJAM is also looking to bring our operations further into our digital age with an updated website and a more user friendly mobile site. As mentioned, CJAM FM is a non-profit based radio station. You are not bombarded with ads and you don't have to pay a subscription fee. Whether listening online or on the FM dial, CJAM is something free for the community and by the community.
Revolution Rock in the last year and half has become syndicated across ten different campus/community stations in Canada being heard in more places than ever before. We curate a program weekly to offer a different side of independent music in the garage, 70s punk/new wave, indie, surf and alternative genres. We often feature exclusive interviews and branch out from these genres creating something different. Revolution Rock would not exist without CJAM, as would many of our great long running and new programs. CJAM offers a voice to artists of all genres and to different spoken word and language based programs that would not have a platform otherwise. That in itself is a great reason to support CJAM FM during this time.
CJAM also offer incentives as a thank you for your support.
