After that whole blowup about KEXP a few months back, here’s a chance for you to have some say in a different local station’s programming. KBCS (91.3 FM), stationed out of Bellevue, is in the last days of its pledge drive, and SunTzu is asking for callers to pledge their support during their show tonight (and during the preceding show, Yes Yes Y’all). In both cases, the DJs are people that very obviously care about playing some of the best music around, with Yes Yes Y’all focusing on hip-hop, while SunTzu’s City Soul pulls from just about everywhere. In a case of following the money, these pledge drives are when stations figure out how to cater their programming, so if you’re truly looking to support independent radio (and DJ-oriented fare on the radio), call up KBCS and donate whatever you can, either during tonight’s programs, or sometime before the drive ends tomorrow (noting that you’re a fan of these two shows when you pledge).
