About this project
KSKQ is an approved, low-power community radio station in economically depressed So. Oregon. 85% of the station's programming is locally produced & it is a key piece of delivering local news & emergency info. After several years of successful operation and community buy-in, the station has been approved for a full-power license - a long-term goal. To successfully make the transition, it is necessary to acquire the appropriate, more powerful broadcast & transmitting hardware. We have a federal grant for a portion of the funding that is currently pending, and the figure we seek ($50k) represents the remainder. To this funding, we will add the proceeds of a community capital campaign that will fund the 1st yr. of high-power operations. At that point, we expect to be self-sufficient. The region needs this service because even the local NPR station presents only 30% local programming. KSKQ gives voice to the under-represented, to ethnic minorities and to community activists & non-profits. The country needs KSKQ because we stream authentic, user-produced programming on the Internet. The station's license is held by the local "Multicultural Association." Programs offered span the full range of subject material including labor, senior issues, Hispanic programming, voter information & education as well as small business targeted shows. No one with an idea is denied access, no particular point-of-view is emphasized at the expense of another. This is what community is all about. Help us take it up a notch.
