Why do you support WBUR?

…While we no longer live in Boston we still stream WBUR online everyday…we miss your stellar programming. We have a hard time not listening to ‘On Point’ live and we like to listen to the BBC in the morning. Thank you for being such a wonderful NPR station. We miss you but are so glad that we can stream you online. Please don’t ever do away with your online streaming.
-Tricia & Doug, Arington, VA

‘On Point’ , ‘Only a Game’, [and] BBC are a staple for which I am happy to contribute.

Thanks for sustaining honest coverage of newsworthy events in 2010.

When I was unemployed for 14 months during the height of the recession, I actually gave MORE than I sometimes had previously. During that time I relied on WBUR more than ever to keep abreast of the turbulent economy, and I had more time to listen. As an invaluable resource that I was using more than ever, I felt it was only right that I should give even more, despite the financial challenges. It was worth it to me to make sure one of my key resources stayed solid and present during one of the hardest times of my life.
