What is Mission Possible?
It's WNIJ's attempt to raise $150,000 without program interruptions. The mission: eliminate the traditional pledge drive September 2017 to bring you news and information plus your favorite entertainment programs -- uninterrupted.
When?
Now. The campaign began September 8 and runs through Friday, September 29, 2017.
Why?
$150,000 is the amount needed to bring you continued thorough, fact-based reporting on the issues affecting you and your community without interrupting programs. But this campaign is about so much more. In the face of reduced funding in the state of Illinois and a federal budget proposal to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WNIJ will not receive the level of funding provided in previous years; therefore, we need your support today.
