Together with support from across mid-Michigan, we’re making steady progress toward closing the $1.6 million funding gap in our annual operating budget left by the loss of federal funding. Thank you to everyone who has already stepped up to help us close this budget gap. With these steps and the increased community support we have seen, the funding gap is now down from $1.6 million to $500,000. You’re likely to hear ‘Close the Gap’ appeals from our hosts, partners, fans and friends through the months ahead. The best way to help Close the Gap is with a monthly sustaining donation in support of WKAR TV or WKAR Radio -- or both!
