WRIU Radiothon

Radiothon 2012

Once a year, WRIU holds an annual fundraiser to help keep the station running. The next Radiothon will be held March 25, 2012 through April 1, 2012.

While WRIU receives funding from the URI Student Senate to cover most basic day-to-day expenses like office supplies and our telephone bill, that funding does not cover the extensive needs of a radio station.

Your support of the station is necessary for us to continue to bring you the programming you expect and enjoy all year. From these funds we pay for essentials like repairs and maintenance on our transmitter, replacement of broken equipment, and royalty fees and equipment for our webcast.

We also put some of it away for a rainy, or perhaps snowy, day, when ice acumulates on our antenna or that inevitable day when our transmitter needs replacement. Without the funds that we collect, and save, from radiothon, we would likely be unable to recover from such a setback.

2012 Premiums

We haven't finalized a list of 2012 Premiums.
