19. They still have the usual fund raising week.

But now they have a "plus" membership which gives extra access to additional programming from popular programs, for a fee. Most creative now is that they have a "Pets Club." People send in their pet's photo to join. When you pay to join, the Pic goes on their website.

They carry the usual standard NPR programs. But they have added some for a broader appeal.

There is a local sports talk program in which two sports savvy guys discuss various angles in all kinds of sports, not just baseball and football. Sometimes they get into ethics issues.

In the evening, they have current music from 8 PM until midnight. Local musicians play original music as well as standard current songs.

Twice a day they have BBC news, once for an hour at noon and then overnight starting at midnight.

They have a Group Chat program with about 4 local young people discussing popular social happendings and issues.

There is a program that started after the mass shooting at the TOPS Market a couple years ago. It began as a place for victims' families and people who were there to discuss the trauma and look for ways to heal. Then they expanded to cover local cultural issues for everyone.

Every weekday they have a Native News program for what's going on with local Senecas and Native nations across the country.

They added a few programs with conservative centrist views. I listened to them a few times, but found their perspective too offputting for me.

They partnered with the local PBS TV station. Since Toronto is so close and within listening range, they cover some Canadian news, mostly sports like hockey.
