    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    “I have supported WJCT financially for many years. I listen to public radio almost every day for news and other excellent programs. It is imperative for all of us who benefit from public media to provide as much support that we can in every way!”
    - JoAnn Tredennick

    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    I owe so much to PBS. Cultural enrichment, political thinking, quiet programming for feeling sick or being exhausted, teaching and entertainment for my children. I don't want our culture to let this go. PBS, wherever I have been, is the very definition of "invaluable."
    - Kathleen Dully

    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    My father introduced me to public radio on our summer driving trips…Now that’s almost all I listen to. I became disenchanted with [commercial] TV programming and started scanning what public TV had to offer and was hooked on the Masterpiece series. When I realized how much time I spent with PBS and NPR it made sense to donate what I could to support it and have been now for decades.

    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    We began supporting WJCT about 40 years ago when our kids were enjoying Sesame Street. In the mid-90s we were drawn to the “new” news/talk radio format, and then to Antiques Roadshow on TV. Today we get our independent local news from Jacksonville Today. WJCT is an integral part of our community and is worthy of our eyes, ears, and our money!

    - Doris & Doug Wiles

    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    From Sesame Street and Nova to Ken Burns specials, public TV has been a valuable part of my family's life for 45 years.

    - Michael Geisler

    MEMBER TESTIMONIAL

    PBS is the best source I know for superb drama programs such as Downton Abbey, in-depth news and analysis, beautiful nature programs, historical documentaries, such as all of the Ken Burns series…It provides excellent programming for early childhood education and wonderful shows such as Mister Rogers…It networks with many providers to bring otherwise unavailable high quality, in-depth programming and information. In a world of fast, flashy, and superficial mindless entertainment, it is an anchor in this fast-paced confusing world!
