Marathon News
Our 2011 marathon ran for two weeks from Monday April 4th until Sunday April 18th.   The Marathon store was open on the second week, Thursday April 14th thru Sunday April 17th from 9am to 8pm (sunday hours start at 1pm). We appreciate our listeners and encourage you to help us continue delivering an amazing diverse mix of music year round. Operating a radio station, can't be powered only by "the love of music", and the marathon is the one time during the year when we ask for your financial help.

Thanks to all our listeners for your kind pledges of support.   Please send back your pledge slip with a check in the self-addressed envelope as soon as you can.

Please give us a call: 860-439-2850, and pledge your support to our student and community run radio station.  
Visit us at the station during our marathon store hours during the second week.   It's a great oportunity meet us and check out our premiums (thank you gifts) first hand, and fulfill your pledge in person.  We will not send out the pledge slips till after the store is closed.   Let us know if you plan on stopping by when you call in and make your pledge.  We will also be accepting credit cards in the marathon store this year.  Thanks for the support and please make checks payable to "CCCR" (Connecticut College Community Radio) or "WCNI"

WCNI operates on community donations.   Thank you so much for helping us stay on the air and continue to improve our station.

About the Marathon

WCNI is a non-profit, listener-supported radio station. WCNI operates on donations and underwritings from you, our listeners. We receive no federal or state funding. Listener contributions have kept WCNI on the air since 1985.

We need contributions to continue our existence as an autonomous free form radio station. We need your support to help with licensing fees, new additions to our music library, repairs and new equipment, and general operating costs.

Our DJ's are unpaid volunteers who are here to bring you the best alternative music that you will NOT hear on commercial radio stations. Your support allows us to provide you with an eclectic mix of programming such as the best in Polka, World, Spoken Word, Experimental, Blues, Folk, Punk, Country, Rock, Showtunes, Indie, Reggae, Hip Hop, Metal, and anything else you might find lying on the side of the road.

You can make donations by check, cash or credit card (we can only accept credit cards during the marathon).

To donate by check, make the check out to "WCNI" or "CCCR" (Connecticut College Community Radio).

Donations will be tax-deductible on the amount of money you donate, minus the fair market value of any gifts you receive.
