Final RadioLive Concert

   May 9, 2011

The day the music dies – June 2, 2011.

Press Release: Despite a valiant effort from friends and fans of RadioLive to keep the program going, production of the popular monthly, live music, concert series will cease at the end this fiscal year – the last live concert being June 2, 2011.

The program was deleted from the WUWF budget in 2009 as a result of reductions in state funding, but continued on, due to a generous grassroots fundraising effort begun by attendees and matched in 2009 and 2010 by the University of West Florida. The Jim Dyehouse Memorial Fund to Save RadioLive, established to honor of one of the program’s most ardent fans, along with the efforts of a loyal cadre of volunteers, managed to keep the program alive for an additional two and a half years.

Unfortunately, additional funding cuts for the 2011-2012 budget year make it impossible to continue the monthly live RadioLive broadcasts in the near future. There is no doubt that the program will return in some form, at some point, but for now fans can continue to enjoy RadioLive Encores on WUWF 88.1FM at 7:00PM on Thursdays and weeknights at 9:00PM on WUWF-TV Cox Cable CH 4.

WUWF appreciates the many loyal RadioLive fans of acoustic music and their generous donations – approximately 5,000 lbs. of food annually – to our long time partner, Manna Food Pantries. WUWF encourages RadioLive fans to continue to remember Manna with food and funds donations.

Thursday, June 2, 6 p.m., RadioLive Farewell Concert, Pensacola Museum of Commerce
June’s musical guests will be: Malcolm Holcombe, Nancy Moran, and Tom Feldmann.
