Support Music from the Hills of Home on WNKU

Anyone who listens to Katie & Wayne on Sunday nights knows the name, Pester Flatt, and many will know that Pester's favorite holiday is Mother's Day.  That's when the annual "O' Mother, Where Art Thou"  Festival takes place at the Flotsom County Fairgrounds. 

Well, now you can own a piece of this iconic (albeit, purely fictitious) event when you support "Music From the Hills of Home" on WNKU.  Anyone who pledges $25 or more between 6p and 9p tonight will receive a commemorative "O' Mother, Where Art Thou" festival poster.  This is in addition to any thank you gift you might choose!

So, support bluegrass music on WNKU and the hosts who bring it to you each and every week by making a pledge today.  You'll be glad you did.

Pledge now!

Help Raise $175,000 for Public Radio that Rocks!

BECOME A MEMBER OR RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP TODAY!

Okay, we don't always rock.  Sometimes we chill.  Sometimes we groove.  Sometimes we shuffle.  Sometimes we swing.  Sometimes we boogie.  Sometimes we shake.  Sometimes we rattle.  And sometimes...we roll.

But we ALWAYS have a good time playing great music no matter what the style, and we ALWAYS do it commercial-free.  That's why WNKU's been voted Best Radio Station in Cincinnati by CityBeat readers more than any other radio station in the history of radio stations ever

How do we play such great music with no commercials ever, you ask?  Why, listener support, of course!  And now we're asking YOU for your support all this week during WNKU's fall membership drive. 

Check out our great thank you gifts - including Ring III: A Cincinnati Keyboard Christmas - and become a member or renew your membership today!
