Ray Bassett, host and producer of Scenic Roots and WUTC’s Editorial Director, joined WGOW 102.3 FM’s Jed and JR Mornings to promote WUTC’s Fall Pledge Drive, running Oct. 2–10. He emphasized the vital role of listener support amid recent federal funding cuts to public broadcasting. Bassett noted that while pledge drives are long-standing traditions, their importance is greater than ever. WUTC, a public service of UTC, aims to raise $125,000—donations can be made at wutc.org. >>>Listen>>>
