Please get smart and fix your fundraising marathons!  They drive away more viewers and supporters then they generate.  The biggest problem is that they punish supporters.  As more people respond to this type of abusive fund raising, the more your station becomes addicted to it.

There is no one I know that does not change channels when they encounter your fundraising marathons, because we all learned long ago that making a pledge and donating only adds to the problem.  We all just change channels, or go outside and play with the dog, then check back later to see if it has ended.

The biggest abuse, is some poor misguided soul droning on and on about nothing that anyone is interested in or listening to.

You want solid funding?  Put it on the ballet, and promise Oregonians that the bill will end these stupid moronic fundraising drives.  We will then help you force the state to fund you proper, like most other non-stupid states do.

Your fundraising drives remind me of religious individuals that beg to their gods day and night...
