We're always hearing from our listeners about how much they love WHRV and why they choose to support us. In fact, we've heard you make the case far better than we ever could! If you’ve ever listened to a membership drive and thought, “I could do that!”… now is your chance! We're turning the tables and asking you to record your best testimonial for supporting WHRC.

We might use your testimonial on the radio or online to help encourage others to support WHRV. You can record your testimonial on your smartphone and send an MP3 to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and that's it! You might hear yourself on the air.


1. Craft Your Testimonial

You are WHRV’s best ambassador for encouraging others to listen to and support. Will you record a testimonial for us?

Why do you value WHRV? Why should people support it? Be creative, musical, punny, inspiring – just be yourself. Most importantly, be sure to follow these rules:

  • Your testimonial should be about 30 seconds (the shorter it is, the more frequently it might be aired).
  • Your testimonial must end by asking others to make a contribution to the membership drive.
  • Your testimonial must include either our donation line phone number 757-889-9466 or whrv.org.
  • We'd love to hear your own original music, but please leave background music to us. We'll make sure everything's copyright friendly!

Please include your name, phone number, email address and mailing address (so we send you a thank you gift for your participation) with your submission.
