Global Pandemic Interrupted For OPB Membership Drive

The global COVID-19 crisis was put on hold for several minutes Friday morning for Oregon Public Broadcasting to remind you that now is the single greatest time in recorded history to become a sustaining member.⁣⁣⁣

“Here at OPB, we know your days are most likely filled desperately searching for any glimmer of joy during this terrible pandemic,” said Think Out Loud host Dave Miller soothingly. “We’d love to be that glimmer, but we need your support!“⁣⁣⁣

Without missing a beat, business and economics reporter Kate Davidson chimed in. “And if you’re not sure whether now is the right time, we’re offering a special gift to sustaining members! For ten dollars a month, we’d love to send you our limited edition membership drive earplugs! Perfect for muffling our donation shpiels, but only available to those who have helped us keep the lights on.“⁣⁣⁣

As of press time, announcer Jenn Chavez had been diligently listing OPB’s regional stations for fourteen straight minutes and was showing no signs of slowing down.
