Last week the House of Representatives passed a bill that would strip away a billion dollars in funding for stations across the U.S., including WFUV. If the Senate passes the bill, we’ll need to replace half a million dollars each year. This moment demands action, and we’re asking you to speak out. Go to Protect My Public Media and ask your Senators to stand against defunding public media.

After you do that, help us put together a set of songs about preserving, saving, protecting and the like. We'll spin a set.

Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:

  • Aretha Franklin "Save Me"
  • The Police "Message in a Bottle"
  • Amy Helm "Rescue Me"
  • Jem "Save Me"

Weekdays at Noon
