It’s FBi’s 1st birthday next Sunday! Part of the celebrations includes FBi’s inaugral Supporter Drive. Stations like 3rrr in Melbourne (probably the most successful example) derive a huge proportion of their income from supporters/subscribers/members (whatever you want to call it), and as you can imagine, running a radio station doesn’t come cheap!
FBi’s managed to get itself on air, and has minimal sponsorships to gain some revenue, but it’s listener-funded radio in the main.

So if you’ve been enjoying Utility Fog over the past year, I strongly recommend getting on the phone next Sunday during the show and dialling 8 33 22 945. There’ll be lovely people waiting on the phone lines to take your name and details so that you can become an FBi supporter. There’s prizes to be won, plus all sorts of benefits right through the year, plus you’ll feel warm & cozy because you’re helping this wonderful radio station keep itself, and thus unique shows like this one, on air week after week.
