Hi all! We’re starting our pledge drive quietly tomorrow (Friday) with a few scripts for you to read. Please read a script twice and hour. Please rotate from the 12 scripts below until further notice. I have also printed them out on cards for the control room. If you’re a music show host, you can skip the ones that focus on news (007-009) and vice-versa for the news hosts and the music scripts (010-012). We’ll bump up to pitching every break a little later in our quiet drive. Thanks all! *FALL PD 001 - PLEDGE DRIVE SEASON (:15)* It’s pledge drive season at KCBX and time to renew your support.
