Goodbye, Al Jazeera AM — Hello, Flashpoint Daily Newsmagazine!

Unfortunately, in August (no specific date given), Al Jazeera will cease doing its radio program. Al Jazeera has been a gem in KRFY’s program schedule for a number of years. We are very sorry to see this quality broadcast depart as it brought us news of the world never covered in “main-stream” news organizations.

Fortunately, we will be airing another news and public affairs program — Flashpoint Daily Newsmagazine — beginning on Monday, August 5. Flashpoint Daily Newsmagazine will air at 8:00 a.m. weekdays, the same time when Al Jazeera could have been heard previously. So, tune in and let us know if you like KRFY’s latest news and public affairs program. Thanks for your understanding, for tuning in, and supporting KRFY..

CCS is a community-funded resource center providing information and supportive services to clients and their families experiencing cancer in Bonner and Boundary Counties. The local hospital in Sandpoint is a wonderful resource for cancer patients, but due to federal regulations it cannot provide radiation therapy in Sandpoint. This means that hundreds of patients leave the area to drive daily to Spokane to receive their treatment. The cost of this can create an enormous hardship on the patients and their families. In 2011, CCS gave out over 2,100 $15 gas cards to patients. This August CCS is holding a “Got Gas?” fundraising drive..
