Alex, the website “adoptastation.org”, powered by semipublic.co, popped up on Facebook today. It is collecting donations for every publicly funded radio station in the country. I FEAR THIS IS A HOAX and cannot find anything convincing me otherwise. Please let me know what you know. Thank you. Barbara Balog
Barbara - I really appreciate your caution with a site like Adopt A Station. I'm happy to say that I created and launched that website yesterday morning. No money changes hands through Adopt A Station, visitors are only ever sent directly to station websites. Semipublic is linked at the bottom because I built the site and am using the Semipublic dataset to serve the station data listed on the site. I spent my own money creating adoptastation.org and have never received any compensation for it - I am running it as a community service.
