It’s National Radio Day and we’re celebrating by highlighting a small sample of the radio stations that maintain an important place in their communities. Native language, music and news are just part of the line-up that goes out over the air every day—all at no cost to listeners. We’ll talk with some of the dedicated people who keep broadcast radio going. They range from low-power stations that have a listening area of a few blocks, to established stations heard miles away. In an age of internet streams, podcasts and digital television, radio continues to serve an important purpose.
Guests:
Wynn Jones – general manager at KSJD
Sial Thonoliq (Tohono O’odham) – general manager for Hewl Ni’ok Network, which includes KOHN, KOHH, and low power stations KOHFLP and KWAKLP
Jeff Seifert – general manager of KBRW
Randy Henry (Klamath Tribes) – station manager for KQCF
