Campaign for the Classics, Secure Classical Music on the Radio!
In April 2007, Northeast Indiana Public Radio
acquired
94.1 FM, a full power frequency that is now WBNI's new home for Beethoven, Bach and the full spectrum of
classical composers! Financial support is now being raised through our Campaign for the Classics
to meet the $1.75 million purchase price for the station,
and upgrade transmission equipment for digital broadcasting (HD Radio).
The stronger signal is bringing classical music to Bluffton, Huntington, Decatur,
Columbia City, and Wabash, and improving reception throughout Fort Wayne.
View coverage map for 94.1 FM. The
acquisition of 94.1 FM moves Fort Wayne alongside cities such as Los Angeles and
Washington, DC where the only source for classical music 24-hours a day is on
public radio! Our Campaign for the Classics seeks to make 94.1 FM a
community asset for years to come, expanding our area’s access to great
performances recorded locally or acquired from venues around the world!

A Vehicle Donation to WBNI, WBOI
Our partnership with
Charitable
Auto ResourceS Inc offers a great way for that vehicle that you may
no longer need to become a tax
deductible contribution to support the programming on WBNI and WBOI.
Here's a picture of a recent donation to New Hampshire Public Radio's Car
Donation program. CARS was able to sell the vehicle at auction for $12,000,
returning the highest percentage of the sale back to the station! You might not
have a 1923 Model T, but we'd love to handle any car donation you are willing to
make.
CARS will arrange
for the pickup of your vehicle, the sale, all insurance and paperwork. Plus,
many area companies will match the value of the vehicle you’re donating, which
extends your gift to Northeast Indiana Public Radio! For more
information,
view
the CARS FAQ page, then call NIPR's Karen
Fraser, 452-1189, or call toll free 866-NIPR-CAR.

Paleoanthropologist Holly
Dunsworth doesn’t need the faith, trust, effort, or strength required to believe
in evolution – for her, it just is. Instead, as Dunworth states, she simply
"believes evolution." Tune in Sunday at 8 am to Weekend Edition to listen
to Dunworth's essay on belief and evolution.
