Good to be with you on this drizzly Friday afternoon.
We are a true community access radio station and anyone can come and share their creativity and their voice on KDNK.
We have like 98 regular music DJs, and then we have about 25 public affairs show hosts.
You know, I can't imagine, like, what Carbondale would be like without it.
I grew up in Carbondale and have listened to the station my entire life.
So it's really, very much part of who I am.
It's really heartwarming to see how much people care about this station and how much joy it brings into people's lives.
The Rolling Stones here on KDNK, keeping the airwaves funky since 1983.
“Can You Hear Me Knocking?” That's on vinyl that'll be, I think, available in the record sale.
We have several friends that are DJs and have been around here longer than us, really.
I think everybody's looking for community, and I think that having a radio station like KDNK gives people a place to gather.
We are an NPR station, but the majority of our funding that we receive from Corporation for Public Broadcasting goes to KDNK.
It goes to staff.
It goes to people that are local.
It goes to our local reporters.
So you're not cutting off NPR.
The cuts are hurting the locals.
