PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ANSWER A
QUESTION FOR WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER. ASK THE SUPERVISOR
FOR HELP.
Where does my pledge money go?
To support the station, replace equipment, and to help us continue
to broadcast jazz and blues as the only jazz and blues station
in Los Angeles and Long Beach.
What is included in my membership?
If you subscribe at the basic membership ($40), you will receive
a year’s subscription to the electronic KJAZZ monthly Guide,
a KJAZZ Club Card which offers discounts at various businesses
in the LA and Orange County areas, and you’re eligible for
live giveaways. If pledging $88 or more, the member is eligible
for a Thank You Gift. Part or all of their contribution is tax
deductible, depending on whether a thank you gift is received and
the value of that thank you gift.
How long will it take for me to get my premium?
6-8 weeks.
When will the winners of the sweepstakes be announced?
The daily sweepstakes winners will be announced a week after the
sweepstakes ends. The grand prize winner will be announced June
15th.
If I want another gift do I have to make an additional pledge at
the level required for the gift, (for example, $176 for two KJAZZ
baseball caps each at the $88 level of membership)?
Yes. We don’t sell our Thank You Gifts separate from membership.
I have already pledged once this year and my membership has not
yet expired. Can I have my membership extended one year from my
current expiration date?
Any contributions made within the first 10 months of a one year
membership are considered additional contributions for the year
and do not extend the membership.
I pledged during your last drive, and I haven’t received
anything. What should I do?
Please refer them to the Member Services Department at 310-478-5061.
They can also email the department at info@kkjz.org.
I am on my cell phone. Can you put my name down for those tickets
and I will call back?
NO! We’re sorry, but all tickets are reserved by credit card
only. If they would like us to take their pledge now, we would
be glad to help. Otherwise, they’ll have to call back and
hope that tickets are still available.
If I hear another premium on the air later and want to switch,
can I do that?
No. This will have to be done as a separate pledge.
When does the fundraiser end?
June 8th, 2008, 7:00 p.m.
How do I get a receipt for my donation?
You will receive one automatically.
How do I deduct my donation from my taxes?
You will receive a tax receipt in the mail with information and the California
State University, Long Beach Foundation tax ID number.
What is the club card and where can I use it?
There’s a list online of the club card merchants. Go to JazzandBlues.org
How long will it take to get my club card?
4-6 weeks.
How long before the money is taken from my credit card?
Within one to two weeks.
How will my pledge show up on my credit card statement?
As “CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY”
How long is my membership good for?
One year from the date of the pledge.
How often can I win tickets from KJAZZ?
You are eligible again for tickets and other contests 60 days after winning.
I can’t get the KJAZZ signal at work/home, how else can I listen?
We are streaming online at jazzandblues.org.
I own a restaurant/store/company can I donate a gift to the pledge drive?
Depending on when in the drive they call we may not be able to do anything for
this drive, but they can call 310-478-5061 and we’ll work something out
for the next drive.
I work for a company that will match my contribution. How do I do that?
Talk to your HR department. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do here at
KJAZZ.
Isn’t KJAZZ owned by a for-profit company now?
No. The station is still owned by the California State University, Long Beach
foundation, a non-profit foundation. KKJZ Fundraising Inc. is now responsible
for the fundraising process but the proceeds still go to support KJAZZ. KKJZ
Fundraising, Inc. is a registered commercial fundraiser that conducts fundraising
activities on behalf of the California State University, Long Beach Foundation
for the benefit of KKJZ.
What changes does that mean for KJAZZ?
Nothing that affects the on-air product. It is simply a change in who runs the
fundraising process.
What's up with the recent changes to the schedule?
KJAZZ wanted to offer more locally programmed straight-ahead jazz. While
Radio Deluxe is a wonderful show, we wanted to make room for more local
programming. You can still listen to Radio Deluxe online at
johnpizzarelli.com
On Fridays we swapped Paul James and Jazz on the Latin Side to be
consistent with Jazz on the Latin Side Monday through Thursday (and added an
extra hour of Jazz on the Latin Side to kick off the weekend).
As for Nothing but the Blues, well, Bubba missed having a
weekend and we're excited to hear what Nick Gerard has for us.
What was that song I heard 2 hours/days/weeks ago?
All our playlists are archived on our website. Go to jazzandblues.org/programming/playlists to
check them out.
Is it fun to volunteer at KJAZZ?
YES! (At least we hope that’s your response. If not, let us know what we
can do better.)
How do I sign up to volunteer?
Send an email to volunteer@kkjz.org. You’ll be emailed back with information.
I’m a musician; will KJAZZ play my music on the air?
You can submit a copy of your cd to the station. The DJs will listen to the cd.
You can look up your music on our playlists to see if it’s been played.
Mail your cd to:
KKJZ
1288 N Bellflower Blvd
Long Beach, CA 90815
May I speak with one of the DJs?
During the drive they are too busy to take calls. But you’re welcome to
call during normal programming.
May I request a song?
During the drive the DJs must stick to a strict schedule and cannot take requests.
During normal programming you can call the KJAZZ main office number at 562-985-2999
and make a request with the receptionist during regular business hours.
