Yeppers, I gave in and donated to the NPR radio station that comes in clear as a bell here in Pleasant Hill CA. They even pronounced my name (not "Horse") right.
The station broadcasts from Sacramento CA, I believe. They play classical during the day, and jazz in the evenings.
I play mostly folk, rock, and Western Swing but I listen mostly to classical and jazz. It's still strange to me that almost all of the best radio stations are "public" and "listener-supported."
But I will not gripe. There are still a few out there who appreciate good music.

When I donate to CJRT I do it online, so they do see my name, but I tell them to just call me BarBara P... I don't want to hear my name mangled.

Congrats to you. I play my Favorite list from Youtube quite a lot. I have a combination of all kinds of music including some of my favorite Latvian pop songs.

@TheHorse there are many different ones from lively to quiet but this is a mix of some English and Latvian and is sure to amuse you. It was quite popular.

@nanette64 I'm listening to the station right now. They're playing some nice classical and providing background information. A good station.

@TheHorse - We all do whatever we can. If enough people did that, there would be fewer of the types of problems that can be solved with a little money.

@TheHorse That is awesome! How kind of you to donate money and a wonderful thing for them to thank you over the radio. I love classical and jazz too! Apparently I have an odd taste in music for my age. There is this video game I really love called Saints Row 2. It's like a Grand Theft Auto type of game. Anyway when you're driving, you have radio stations to pick from. I listen to a lot of the stations ( except heavy metal ) but I always find myself listening to the classical station the most. It's just soothing to me.
Good on ya!

Heh. I went to a bachelor party and we (the boys) played Grand Theft Auto (I can't remember which iteration). I put classical music on and then mowed down as many grannies on the sidewalk as I could. It was fun being the most heartless criminal in the world, if only for a fleeting drunken moment.

@VivaLaDani13 Therapeutic. I have long since forgiven (or eaten) my exes.

@TheHorse 
That makes me feel less bad now. Because when I play the game I run over or shoot skateboarders in the head because it reminds me of my ex. But I'm not hostile or anything........ 
Poor grannies lol

That’s what I did. Instead of griping about “the government cut funding to public radio,” i doubled my donation!
