[grc] Resources 4 Ukraine

Thu Mar 10 07:45:35 PST 2022

ART FM stands with the people of Ukraine and against the violent 
invasion of the Russian military.

As such, we have created a list of resources - PSAs, Programs, and Music 
for coping with the crisis and celebrating Ukrainian culture.
This is a growing list, please send any additions.

WXOX is proud to host a new weekly program called DOBRYI DEN which means 
Good Day in Ukrainian.  Hosted by Megan and Andriy Sherehiy the program 
showcases the music, poetry and art of Ukraine interwoven with voices 
from the conflict zone and their messages for American listeners.

Dobryi Den airs live every Saturday between 11am - 1pm Eastern on 
www.ARTxFM.com  >>>  Noncommercial Stations wishing to simulcast are 
welcome to do so.  You can contact me at this e-mail (gm at artxfm.com) and 
the host will include your call letters.

The 2-hour pilot episode is now available on Pacifica's Audioport & 
available to other stations upon request.  It is evergreen with all 
timestamps and station IDs removed.  If all goes well, new 1 hour 
episodes of Dobryi Den will be uploaded to Audioport each week.
