K窪做惇蹋厙-FM 91.1 to launch fundraising drive

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

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

 ���For years we���ve relied almost exclusively on 窪做惇蹋厙 student fees to cover our operating expenses,��� Miller said. ���Being a technology-based operation, we���ve seen those operating costs go up every year, and put more pressure on student���s pocketbooks along the way. Now, with the approval of 窪做惇蹋厙 President Dr. Arthur Vailas, K窪做惇蹋厙 is entering a new era.���

K窪做惇蹋厙���s fall drive will run during the last seven days of October, culminating on Halloween. Miller says they���re hoping that K窪做惇蹋厙 has proven its value to listeners in east Idaho over the past seven years.

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

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