Pledge drive scheduled by YSU radio station

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State University’s listener-supported public radio, WYSU 88.5 FM, is beginning a pledge drive that will run from Friday through April 11 to raise $100,000.

Those pledging support of the station as a new member, a renewing member or with an additional gift, will be entered in a drawing to win a pair of tickets for a WYSU-sponsored 13-day Fables of Ancient Greece tour, valued at $6,000. The package includes visits to the Acropolis of Athens, the ruins of the Parthenon, the Temple of Apollo at Delphi and the Temple of Athena Nike.

During the drive, the station also will offer new HD digital radios as daily prizes.
