Chicago Radio Group
Impact was the mission of WTMX in 2010… Impact the airwaves by providing content rich programs to inspire a community. Impact organizations by assisting them with a mixture of in-kind donations, sweat equity and monetary contributions. Impact our listeners by empowering them to help make a difference in Chicago.
This past year our efforts were focused on causes that benefit women, children and the community. In just 36 hours the annual Eric & Kathy Radiothon for Children’s Memorial Hospital raised $1.7 Million and was one of the most successful radiothons in North America! Additionally, our annual golf outing raised $45,000 for The Super Jake Foundation, focused on battling pediatric brain tumors.
Individually, employees of WTMX contributed over 1,145 hours of service to over 75 organizations. We provided exposure to 343 charitable causes donating $5,252,815 in free media support through website, on-air, streaming audio, PSAs, interviews, in-kind donations and community events.
We’re pleased to report that our impact contributed a minimum of $5,893,315 to Chicago’s neediest. We’re proud to convey that this contribution was achieved while delivering both a top rated and billing position in Chicago radio.
