WCPE Secure Pledge Page
My eight-year-old son insisted on making his own pledge to become a WCPE member in his own right, because he loves classical music. He knows something worth saving up for.
I don’t remember exactly when we made our first donation, but I suppose my wife and I have been members for about half the station’s history.

Your son rocks. Eric loved WCPE and knew all the hosts…and they knew him. Probably the best classical station on the planet.

Yeah. It’s not just the music, it’s the people. The people make it unique and alive.
WCPE and KSJN are the only two 24x7 classical stations I know today. I grew up with MPR’s KSJN; we moved from Minneapolis to eastern Wisconsin when I was young and our family erected a large antenna to pull in KSJN from an unreasonable distance.
In college, I occasionally volunteered for WCAL (before it was discarded to MPR), and although it got some college support then, it had a lot of the same feel to be at as WCPE. But now WCAL is just another MPR transmitter.
In any case, I know I’m fortunate to have had classical music on the radio most of my life.

He just laminated his new member letter to preserve it. :-)
