Sunday mornings aren't the same without TLS Radio. It's the one show that talks about what's really happening in our neighborhoods — no spin, no agenda.
Mohammed and the team give a voice to people who never get heard on mainstream radio. I became a Bolt Member because this kind of media is worth protecting.
I called in for the first time last month and was treated with so much respect. This show proves that radio can still bring a community together.
Directly into keeping the show on the air: airtime on WCPT 820 AM, studio costs, streaming and archiving every episode, and the phone lines that let listeners call in. TLS Radio takes no corporate sponsorship, PAC money, or advertising.
Yes, anytime. Memberships are billed monthly through Stripe and you can manage or cancel your subscription from the receipt email Stripe sends you.
Both help. Monthly memberships give the show predictable funding it can plan around. A one-time Spark is perfect if you'd rather give once, or want to add to an existing membership.
Bolt Members and above are read on air during the Sunday broadcast. Thunder and Lightning Club members also get the priority call-in line and quarterly meet & greets with the team.
All payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe's secure checkout pages. TLS Radio never sees or stores your card details.
Listen this Sunday from 8 to 10 AM on WCPT 820 AM, then decide. We'll be here.
