Hi awesome people! There are even more pledge scripts for you in the
control room and below. In the MCR we are keeping them on the copy stand.
Again, please read or vamp on one every single break. If you are a music
host, find the ones that are not news oriented. There are some music
specific ones, some general ones, and some sweepstakes ones you can pick
from. If you are comfortable doing so, put the points in your own words and
speak from the heart. That’s way more effective than sounding like you’re
reading a script. Here’s the whole dang collection:
