Lightning 100 Launches Save Our Airwaves Campaign
While the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns have put many touring-related companies in dire straits over the past several months, other segments of the music industry are also being affected.
Local Nashville radio station Lightning 100 is in jeopardy of shutting down and has launched the Save Our Airwaves campaign, seeking to raise $250,000 to cover costs to keep the station running into 2021.

Lightning 100 President Lester Turner said, “Lightning 100 has built a niche by advertising to restaurants, venues and events. COVID-19 has dealt a crushing blow to these businesses. With no customers, they have no revenue and cannot afford to advertise—which means that a major part of our revenue dries up. We need you to help keep the lights on until we can all get together again. Please help support Nashville’s independent radio!”
