The Sustainer Plan Becoming a Sustaining Member is a way to put more of your dollars into the news, music and the Web. As a Sustaining Member, you will help to Save thousands of dollars in postage, paper and administrative costs. Invest more of your contribution into the news and music you value. Dramatically decrease the number of days of on air drives. It's convenient. Your contribution is deducted automatically from the account of your choice (until you tell us to stop) which means no reminders from us. So, we spend less of your contribution on postage and paper. Plus, all the benefits that come with being a member remain yours to enjoy including access to special events and offers.
