Here’s the perfect Christmas gift idea!

givinglogo2016KRFY is staging its year-end member drive and giving appeal, with special programming and reminders that there’s never a better time to help support your community radio station!

This week through Thursday, December 8, the Morning Show airing at 8 a.m. each day will feature a variety of speakers from different nonprofit groups and underwriters to tell why they support community radio for North Idaho. Each Morning Show will be followed by live DJs manning the microphones up until 5 p.m. each day, with occasional in-station visits from other community members.

The goal is to reminder our listeners that joining KRFY as a member, or gifting a friend with a KRFY membership, is a great end-of-the-year move. KRFY is a 501 (c)3 nonprofit organization so donations are tax deductible. And your generosity keeps us providing our daily music, local programming and syndicated for Sandpoint and Bonner and Boundary counties! In fact you could say a donation is your Christmas gift to Sandpoint!

Remember to tune in all this week – or click to donate right now»

A note on KRFY funding

How has defunding and closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting affected KRFY? Our station is funded solely by listeners, supporters and underwriters and has never received funding from the CPB. But some syndicated shows KRFY airs will be affected. The National Federation of Community Broadcasters has prepared a statement on impacts of the CPB closure. Click to read it.
