It sounds so good: the freedom to choose and pay only for those cable channels you really want to watch.

Not interested in American Movie Classics or Toon Disney? Maybe you would rather invest your couch time engrossed in ESPN or the Hallmark Channel.

Then a la carte pricing may be just what you need. But you're not likely to get to pick and choose which cable channels you subscribe to anytime soon.

WDET-FM (101.9) needs volunteers to help answer phones for the station's spring pledge drive.

In fall 2004, the station switched to a professional answering service for its drives. No more, says WDET's new general manager Michael Coleman. He believes volunteers add a certain energy to the drives.

The on-air drive runs March 31-April 13. To sign up, call 313-577-4550 or go to wdetfm.org.
