(Press Release)

When you consider what KMUZ is bringing to the Mid-Willamette Valley with its unique programming, and divers collection of volunteers striving to bring you important news, information, discussion and a great variety of music, it’s important to seriously consider digging in to your pockets a bit to help support the station.

One easy – nay, PAINLESS – way of doing that is to sign up for a monthly withdrawal. In the top right column of this page you’ll see a “Help KMUZ” section which gives you a chance to donate easily through our website. There are two options: the first is a single donation in the amount of your choice. The second is a selection of ‘auto-payment’ options. The drop-down box gives you a choice of making monthly donations in the amounts of $5, $10, $15, $20 or $25 dollars. Once you sign up, you’re committing to becoming a monthly supporter of KMUZ. Yes, your donations are tax-deductible. And yes, we really appreciate it!

Please consider starting your monthly donations today!

Carl gives Kelley his approval for a great show at KMUZ’s Grand Opening. Thanks all to the hundreds of folks who came down to the Mill to help us celebrate this momentous occasion. Under Vicki Darden’s tutelage the event was well organized, informative and fun for everyone involved. KMUZ, your community radio, get involved!

KMUZ’s production room has had a makeover. Adding some sound traps and getting the gear off the floor will allow our programmers to be efficient. With the donation of a new turntable, we’re now able to incorporate vinyl into the production process, too. Thanks to Carl Beilstein and CT Holman for their efforts.

Join KMUZ Jan. 14th for our Open House and Studio Tours

KMUZ will be hosting an Open House and Grand Opening celebration on January 14, 2012. There will be an Open House with tours of the studio that Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. In the evening, the Board will be hosting a happy hour event in the Dye House from 5:00 – 7:00 pm, where we’ll be thanking sponsors and volunteers, and encouraging people to build partnerships with us. Be happy, join the KMUZ family and promote community radio!

Gilgamesh Brewery beer and wine from Anthony Dell Cellars will be available for purchase.  KMUZ is proud to partner with these local craftspeople and merchants.

We’ve set a goal of $885 in donations for today.     There are still 5 more hours. We have received $360 so far today from five donors, so we are over 1/3 of the way there!

In this past year we have accomplished so much and achieved our dream to bring community radio to the Mid-Willamette Valley. We so need a little more help in order to make our station and transmitter site of the quality needed to give you great local programming. Be a part of the KMUZ family!

Contribute Now

2011 has been an extremely productive year for KMUZ that has culminated in going On The Air on December 17!  Thanks to past support from donors, along with the thousands of hours spent by dedicated community members, we have surmounted many obstacles with our all-volunteer effort.

Ongoing payments for the transmitter equipment and monthly operational expenses of over $500—soon to be over $1,000 by midwinter—necessitate financial support more than ever.  Please consider becoming a supporter of KMUZ with your donation of $40, $100, or more.  All of your donations are 100% tax deductible, and best of all, you’re investing in the growth of our area’s first community-run radio station!

Click on the “Donate” button on the right or mail your check to KMUZ-FM, P.O. Box 12038, Salem OR 97309.  Many thanks and best wishes for 2012 from the KMUZ family.
