WFMU & Freaking the Frequencies
A post on the WFMU’s Beware of the Blog regarding Paul Pearson’s recent story in The Stranger, “Freaking the Frequencies,” appears here. You can check out WFMU’s recent playlists here.
One thing we got wrong in the piece was WFMU’s revenue-generating prowess: the station has yet to surpass the $1 million mark for any of its annual fundraisers. We regret the error.
Thanks to Mark Kaufman, who illustrated Paul’s story (see graphic above), for the tip.

I regret the error too.
My research indicated that WFMU's operating budget was $1 million annually, totally funded by members. So when I typed that their fundraisers raised "one million per," I was mentally shorthanding "one million per year," which was not entirely accurate when it came out on the page.
Everything else in the article is 100% correct, especially the opinions and the bit about my purchasing napalm.
