“I’m a bit of a late bloomer to WBHM. Years ago, when my children were boys, their grandfather would always be a sustaining member. And every year he would make sure they listened as his donation money would be in their honor. Intermittently, I would listen WBHM and always wonder what the heck are these people staying in their garage and their driveways listening to. Well, the other day my husband called down going, “Get out of the car.” Unfortunately, I don’t remember what I was listening to, but I was captivated.”

“And I think the information is informative, quite factual. I appreciate the time that is given. They take time to really investigate the facts and not rush. And I really appreciate that because there are so many channels or stations out there that it’s all about hurry, hurry, hurry, and sensationalism. And WBHM does not do that.”

“I encourage to give often to pay back the amazing rewards that we get from listening. So, when you’re digging in your pocketbook so we can get back to regular programming, dig deep.”
