Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer.

Black Friday lines are probably already forming in front of big box stores, but at least one group of friends has a head start on those TVs, GPS units and games. Zachary Davis and four friends have been camped out in front of Michigan Best Buy since last Saturday, in 20-degree weather. The store says Camp Zach is OK by them, and lets the guys use the restroom. The four friends expect to save about a grand.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
