“KCR wants to share details on all of the hard work our volunteers, board members, and staff have been up to over the past year” says station co-chair Michelle Oakley. “And we’ll also be highlighting major initiatives that we’re working on for the big year ahead. This is a great opportunity to be a board member or volunteer for KCR’s new chapter as one of the foremost community stations in the nation.”
In its 22nd year, KCR started its new fall season this week, with 80 programmers — most of them local. The station also aired the very popular KCR Live! series earlier this year, highlighting all-local performers.
Work on a new transmitter that will boost the CJLY signal farther abroad is well underway, as is an extensive, volunteer and donation-driven renovation that will include a new live performance venue.
