Panhandle Community Radio is calling on all listeners in the region once again to step up and support local, noncommercial community radio. The station has been broadcasting at 88.5 FM for over 12 years, bringing local groups and individuals too numerous to name into our studio and onto the airwaves– as well as presenting nationally syndicated entertainment and informational programming that can’t be heard elsewhere on the dial in our area. Once a year, the station turns over its broadcast to the mission of sustaining its own operations, and that time has come once again. Click on the link above to make a simple, safe contribution to your radio station.
If online commerce isn’t your thing, 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.
From June 5-9, every day will feature a special morning show at 8AM with guests affiliated with the radio station, from volunteer DJs to nationally syndicated program hosts. At noon, a live hour of conversation and masterful music mixing will spice up Ottos Eclectic Mix. At four PM every day, local musicians will be performing live in our studio.
Meanwhile KRFY Volunteers will be busily preparing behind the scenes for the (drumroll please) COMMUNITY RADIO DAY on June 10th- see below!

To get back up to full power, we’ll have another move coming sometime in the upcoming month, after the FCC approves a move of our antenna to a new permanent location on a tower space we’re leasing from the Lake Pend Oreille School District (big THANKS to LPSOD). We’ll be able to manage that move with much less downtime of the radio signal.
