Thanks to you for coming through!!

As of 11:12 p.m. Saturday night, WMNF listeners had donated $280,250.52 in response to the station’s call asking the community to “join the resistance.”

That’s according to WMNF’s Development Director Shari Akram, who told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the drive included nearly 1,300 individuals who donated to the station by phone 359 times while pitching in 912 times online. The largest single pledge, Akram said, was $25,000.

Late last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed $1.3 million in the budget meant for public radio stations, stripping WMNF, like every other public radio station in the state, of $100,000.

This weekend, WMNF—which airs a mix of news and music programming—will hold an emergency fund drive that hopes to cover the $100,000 DeSantis veto. Shari Akram, the station’s marketing and development director, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that it will adjust messaging should the federal Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) funding get cut, too.
