Youngstown State University’s public radio service, 88.5 WYSU-FM, is having a donor and membership awareness campaign this week.

Listeners are asked to become a new member, renew support or make an additional gift to the station, a news release states.

“Challenging times persist, and WYSU continues to be here for its listeners 24/7/365 with intelligent news and information programs and music that inspires and soothes,” Gary Sexton, director of broadcasting for WYSU, said in the release. “Our funding efforts this spring will continue to be relatively low key, encouraging online gifts with great reasons for doing so, and a few extra incentives like a new winter hat, a baseball cap and a new-look mug.”
