Thank you KMUZ listeners!

But we’re not done yet…

You have pledged the money we need to buy a new transmitter of our very own!  We’re going to celebrate this important milestone by recalibrating our official pledge drive goal to match the broadcast frequency of our new transmitter: 88.5

So, our new pledge goal is… $8,850!

In what was a somewhat surprising result, KMUZ Community Radio, has been named Best Radio Station in the Statesman-Journal’s annual “Best Of the Mid-Valley” competition — not too shabby for a radio station less than a year old…

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to vote!

The KMUZ transmitter has suffered a serious component failure and is off the air until replacement parts and technicians to install them can be assembled on Wipper Hill. We are hoping to be back on the airwaves at 88.5 MHz sometime Saturday, April 21. We regret any inconvenience to our loyal listeners and want to assure you we are scrambling to fix this problem. Our scheduled programming will continue to be available on our webstream, accessible at www.kmuz.org. We remind you that your tax deductible contribution to help us keep our technical systems operating will be cheerfully (and gratefully) accepted. Watch this space or follow us on Facebook for more updates.
