Inspire others with your WRVO testimonial

We welcome our listeners to share their stories and experiences with WRVO. Your voices and words have the incredible ability to ignite inspiration and motivation within others, encouraging their support for public radio and WRVO.

Testimonials play a vital role on our website, in printed materials, and on air. By submitting a testimonial in any format, you grant WRVO permission to utilize your message and/or voice in manners that align with our mission. Our sole aim is to spotlight WRVO to our audience, attracting new members and fostering financial support.

How to submit a testimonial:

• Call our Membership line anytime and leave a voicemail at (315) 312-1049. Prepare your thoughts beforehand, and refer to the "Testimonial Format and Questions" section below for guidance on what to address.

Alternatively, you can provide a self-recorded testimonial.

Should you choose this approach, feel free to use your own recording device to capture your testimonial. You can submit your recording on CD or as a computer file. For instructions on using an iPhone or Android app to record, refer to the step-by-step guides below. Your final recording can be dropped off at the station or mailed to WRVO, 7060 State Route 104, Oswego, NY 13126. MP3 files can also be emailed to us at feedback@wrvo.org.

Testimonial format and questions

Initiate your recording by saying one of the following statements:

• "My name is <your name> and I'm a supporter of WRVO Public Media because...."

If you're a sustaining member, please use the following statement:

• "My name is <your name> and I'm a sustaining member of WRVO Public Media because...."

Continue your recording by sharing how WRVO impacts your life, why you believe supporting public radio is crucial, and why you choose to be a sustaining member (if applicable).

For clarity, it's best to keep each thought distinct and concise. Introduce a brief pause between your ideas.
