Radiothon

SCRIPPS (soon to be GOOD KARMA) News-Talk WTMJ-A-W277CV and Country WKTI/MILWAUKEE raised over $40,000 for the AMERICAN RED CROSS in a three-hour "WISCONSIN Strong -- Storm Relief" marathon on FRIDAY (8/31) and subsequent fundraising efforts, with the funds helping those affected by the recent historic flooding and thunderstorms across WISCONSIN. Among the donations, the HO-CHUNK NATION Legislature is making a gift of $20,000 to the RED CROSS WISCONSIN Region.

"The generosity of our listeners in southeastern WISCONSIN is tremendous," said VP/GM TOM LANGMYER. "Not only are people still donating money to the RED CROSS to support specific immediate needs, but the impact of volunteerism and on-site involvement, along with physical and emotional support, is immeasurable."

"WTMJ held a 'pop-up' radiothon on FRIDAY afternoon to quickly raise money for the RED CROSS to cover immediate needs," said WTMJ Director of Programming and News ERIC BROOKS. "It’s truly neighbors helping neighbors."
