Welcome to Pledge Week at WWVB
- We're seeking pledges-as-comments, not actual cash.
- Yes, we know WWVB are the call letters for a radio station that broadcasts time checks.
- No, we're not that time-check WWVB.
- If you'd like to actually pledge to a NPR station, we highly recommend:
WQED 89.3 Classical, WDUQ 90.5 Jazz, WYEP 91.3 Alt

You may ask yourself, how can I afford to make a lengthy, witty comment?
Please be at ease - make the comment that feels right for you. If you want to contribute a major monograph, that's great - but if you'd prefer to make a brief "Go Steelers" entry, we'll be happy with whatever is appropriate for you.
Others may ask themselves, How do I know I'm ready for the committment?
Committment? Hah! This is a single comment, a one-night-stand, a zipless post, and if you'd prefer it can be Anonymous.
Remember your personal safety is important to us - because we'll need you back next year. Don't enter comments if driving - just signal, pull over to the side, make your comment, and then continue your driving activity. Let's be careful.
Monday's Pledge Status
We're going to roll open with a low profile, we're going to keep the powder dry on the fireworks and drama until crunch time later in the week.
Today's regularly scheduled programming is the long-anticipated Best Movies Ever List. Because of the pledge drive, we're unable to properly focus on our regular programming until we get a few pledges (comments) in, but we're happy to provide a small glimpse of our programming to come.
UPDATE:We're considering today's pledge effort "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED", and so our complete list of the Greatest Movies Ever is presented here.
As our pledge day progresses, we'll periodically return to our local programming and update the list with more movies!

Enter your comments today! You'll be glad you did.

I brought home a movie to my wife over the weekend. I said, "This is supposed to be a good movie." The minute I said it I realized how stupid a remark it was. Who ever says, "This movie I selected for us on the one night of the week we can actually watch one is supposed to be terrible?"
As fate would have it, the movie sucked. The Brave One with Jodie Foster.
Must include:
Casablanca
American Beauty
Brazil
Bladerunner
Annie Hall
Star Wars
Little Big Man
Apocalypse Now
Serpico
The Matrix
The Godfather
Bullitt
MASH
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Honorable Mention:
The Pianist
Crumb
Woodstock
A Clockwork Orange
Cashback
Groundhog Day
