On-air charity drives
Radiothons are broadcast fundraising events where a radio station solicits donations over an extended period, typically lasting several hours or days.
The format usually features entertainment, guest appearances, and appeals interspersed with pledge drives: The public radio station's annual radiothon raised two million dollars.
The model has been adapted to television as telethons.
