Hello everyone!! We are depending on you, our fabulous listeners, to make pledges to this year's FM-Phasis campaign in the name of our show (Monday Green Eggs and Ham 6-8 Edition with Camille and Janelle). Below you will find some background information on FM-Phasis, a list of prizes you will be eligible for, and instructions on how to make your pledge.

What is FM-Phasis and why should you make a pledge?
FM-Phasis is the Community Radio Society of Saskatoon's annual two-week on-air fundraising campaign. This year it commences Saturday September 18th and runs until Friday Octoberst. We (Camille and Janelle) will be hosting one show during this time (Monday September 20th).  Our show's goal is to raise at least $4 per minute of on-air time during FM-Phasis, which totals $480! There is no donation too big or small - every donation is appreciated!

FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR's existence, as it accounts for approximately a quarter of CFCR's annual operating budget, raising approximately $50,000 per year. The funds raised during past FM-Phasis campaigns have been directed toward continued improvements and upgrades for the station, including: moving to a new and improved location, new studio equipment, production studio renovations, a 1480-watt transmitter, and webcasting.

This year's campaign theme is "Community Radio - Living Stereo," and the goal is $60,000.

Playlist for September 6, 2010

My brother-in-law Brad seems to have developed a mysterious migratory pattern that finds him in Saskatoon on a bi-weekly basis, so he co-hosted the show once again.  Janelle was elsewhere in Saskatchewan getting rained on in a tent, so we preferred being in the comfort of the studio (once Franny arrived to turn on the heat, it was even more cosy).  This rainy, grey Labour Day brought out the mellow in us, as evidenced in our playlist.  We highly recommend listening to these songs accompanied by some warm tea and a fire place.
