One of the biggest protections we have to protect the station licenses and be compliant with FCC policy is the use of a station disclaimer. This allows a programmer to share their views but does not necessarily represent the station’s position on any matter. A disclaimer is a neutral statement that reminds all listeners - including the FCC in a review - that the station has a neutral position as a media outlet.

As part of our dedication to improving the reliability of station and overall listener experience, we are transitioning our live stream and archive (on-demand) listening platforms to new services as of February 1, 2025. Most live streamers won’t notice the difference and the archive interface will just look a little different.

We’re kicking off 2025 right, by filling the airwaves with even more locally made shows. This month, you’ll hear these new folks getting trained on the air with some of our current community members. As they are ready, the following shows will join us on the air in the weeks to come. Please give them a warm welcome when you hear them on the air (they may be a little nervous). Give a call to the studio, a chat through the website, and let them know you’re listening. Click through to see the list of new shows coming soon.
