WFMU's 24-hour Marathon starts TONIGHT, Tuesday Nov 17th at 7pm and runs until Wednesday November 18th at 7pm. Help us raise enough money in 24 hours to stay on the air through the winter months. Our coffers are empty thanks to the combined evil forces of the recession, and falling well short of our Marathon goal last March. We hope you can help us out with a year-end donation! Check out our new fall swag and make a pledge right here or by using the brochure that is soon to arrive in your mailbox. Be sure to tune in for on-air prize giveaways, co-host madness, surprises, and more!
