Thanks to You

Last month, Panhandle Community Radio held its annual on-air Fund Drive with volunteer broadcasters, local musicians, and guests from the community of supports that keeps this radio station on the air.

The board and staff of the station want to thank all the listeners, volunteers, and friends for their generous donations of time and support- helping to keep local, independent community radio alive and well. This Fund Drive was a huge success in building the spirit of community here at 88.5 KRFY.  Thank you to all who made the live broadcasting event fun and inspiring, and to all who came out to toast the radio station at our Utara Tap Takeover event at the Idaho Pour Authority.

Presenting the 2025 KRFY Community Quilt

Attention, KRFY Listeners!

Local craftswoman Kerry Kresge has been hard at work on a beautiful, queen-size, hand-pieced quilt to show her appreciation for our local community radio station, KRFY 88.5.

This one-of-a-kind item is in turn being offered to our donors and supporters as a raffle prize as part of our upcoming on-air Fund Drive.

If you’re a 2025 member of KRFY- meaning, if you have made a NEW DONATION, RENEWED YOUR MEMBERSHIP, or make a SCHEDULED DONATION to the radio station (and have provided us with your NAME and some way of contacting you- not just dropped some cash in the donation jar) then you will be entered into the raffle for this quilt. Each name will be entered only once- but you might want to encourage your parents, spouse, or roommate to sign up and become a member today if you’d like to improve the odds of bringing this quilt into your home.

This quilt could be yours, just for making a donation to KRFY. A reminder- you must have donated to this station in this year, 2025. It’s not too late to get your name in the bucket. Click HERE to become a member today, or call in next week during our ON-AIR FUND DRIVE, May 27-30.

This week: the KRFY Community Radio Celebration

CLICK HERE TO DONATE AND BECOME A MEMBER

This week, the hours that usually feature local content from the studio will be a little different. Panhandle Community Radio is devoting this time on our airwaves to gratitude for those volunteer broadcasters, and their listeners, without whom Community Radio in North Idaho – and anywhere – would not be possible.

The music, information and entertainment you count on will continue as usual- but we’re also pairing up our regular broadcasters with a guest DJ who can help the listening audience find out more about the hosts of the programs we are proud to feature on 88.5 FM.

Call in during our regular local shows- The KRFY Morning Show, Inland Island, The Beast and the Priest, CP@3, North Idaho News of the Week, The 50s Fun Show, The Sixties Sounds Show, The Gospel Music Mix, The Sunday Mix, and The Radio Flyer – and let the hosts know you’re out there, what you like about the show, and what you’d like to hear more of.

Plus, it’s our last big push before the end of the year to raise funds and keep the station going strong and growing in 2025. It wouldn’t be Community Radio without support from the community, and that includes financial help, as well as volunteer hours. Donations are welcome in any season, but this is a particularly good time to make a contribution and let our volunteers and other listeners know that they are part of a large community of KRFY supporters. You can call in and make your donation over the phone or if you prefer, simply follow the link above to our secure Donations page.

OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY FOR YOUR CALL at (208) 265-2992 (during normal business hours). If nobody takes your call, leave a message with your name and phone number and your call will be returned promptly. You can also visit us at the station upstairs at 323 N. First Ave.
