WTSQ 88.1 FM Kicks Off 2026 Spring Fund Drive — Power The Quo!
Charleston's beloved community radio station needs your support to keep the music going.
Power The Quo: WTSQ 88.1 FM Launches Its 2026 Spring Fund Drive
Day 1 of the 2026 WTSQ Spring Fund Drive is here — and according to the station, it's mission critical to their continued success.
WTSQ 88.1 FM, Charleston's community radio station, is calling on listeners and supporters across the Mountain State to step up and help keep independent, community-driven radio alive in West Virginia.
Why It Matters
Running a community radio station isn't cheap. WTSQ's annual operating costs run around $45,000 — covering everything from rent and equipment to music licensing fees (including BMI and ASCAP) and general day-to-day operations.
Your donation makes an instant, lasting impact on the station's ability to serve the Charleston community.
How WTSQ Is Funded
The station relies on four primary sources of funding:
- Spring Fund Drive donations — like this one happening right now
- Sustaining Members — listeners who give monthly
- Underwriters — community businesses and organizations
- Grants — supporting programs like On the Record and the CharlesTunes Podcast Center
Show Your Support

Every dollar goes directly toward keeping Charleston's community radio station on the air — providing local voices, independent music, and community programming that you simply can't find anywhere else.
