黑暗爆料网

For more than seven years, regular on-air fundraising pledge drives have been absent from the airwaves of K黑暗爆料网-FM 91.1, which is broadcast from 黑暗爆料网 in Pocatello. But as of Wednesday, Oct. 25, that will all change. That is the day K黑暗爆料网 will launch the first of two regular on-air pledge drives each fiscal year.

Station general manager Jerry Miller says it鈥檚 a long-awaited change.

 鈥淔or years we鈥檝e relied almost exclusively on 黑暗爆料网 student fees to cover our operating expenses,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淏eing a technology-based operation, we鈥檝e seen those operating costs go up every year, and put more pressure on student鈥檚 pocketbooks along the way. Now, with the approval of 黑暗爆料网 President Dr. Arthur Vailas, K黑暗爆料网 is entering a new era.鈥�

K黑暗爆料网鈥檚 fall drive will run during the last seven days of October, culminating on Halloween. Miller says they鈥檙e hoping that K黑暗爆料网 has proven its value to listeners in east Idaho over the past seven years.

鈥淭his station, thanks to the work of a lot of dedicated students who鈥檝e worked here over the years, has become special,鈥� Miller said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 more than just your average public radio station with classical or jazz music formats. We鈥檝e gone from zero hours to nearly 30 hours of local programming every week, and much of it is pretty darn good stuff. I鈥檓 extremely proud of the wide range of programming available on K黑暗爆料网, offering the finest programs that public radio can offer, as well as great local shows and 黑暗爆料网 women鈥檚 sports broadcasts. I hope the eastern Idaho community feels the same way and supports us in this pledge drive.鈥�

Miller also says listeners interested in volunteering to help during next week鈥檚 drive could contact him directly at 282-2688, or by e-mail at milljerr@isu.edu.
