In-Depth News, Information And Entertainment

Greetings!


I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported KXCV-KRNW during our Fall Fund Drive. Together, we raised over $34,000, and since the rescission vote earlier this year, more than $60,000 in total listener support. Your generosity shows just how strong our public radio community is.


As you know, we’re facing the loss of nearly $198,000 in federal funding each year. Your contributions help us close that gap and ensure that trusted news, local storytelling, and music programs like Rhythm and Roots continue to thrive across our region.


Even though our on-air drive has wrapped up, you can still make a difference anytime at kxcv.org or through the Bearcat Public Media app.

Thank you for believing in the power of public radio and for standing with us.


With gratitude,

John Coffey | Station Manager
