From WTIP North Shore Community Radio - June 30, 2025
WTIP North Shore Community Radio invites listeners and neighbors to rally behind their largest membership drive ever, running from 7:00 AM on Tuesday, July 8, through noon on Monday, July 14. Why now? A federal rescission bill passed by the U.S. House on June 12 would claw back critical funding - removing roughly 25% of WTIP’s annual budget by cutting CPB support.
Local support is more important than ever. The goal to raise $100,000 is meant to help offset this funding threat and ensure the North Shore continues to hear local voices, stories, and music.
Community Events at WTIP Station (1712 W. Hwy 61):
Tuesday, July 8 | 6–8 PM
Summer Beats & Sweet Treats
Live DJ set by Bryan Gerrard, plus ice cream courtesy of Superior Creamery
Wednesday, July 9 | 12:30-1 PM
K-9 Demo
Family-friendly demonstration with Officer Paul Spry & Canine Eddy
Thursday, July 10
8–10 AM: Coffee & Donuts
5–7 PM: Turntable Tennis
