KWSO Calendar for Fri., May 2, 2025
May
Today is a Public Media Giving Day. Public Media has been in the news lately with threats to both NPR and CPB funding. KWSO operations counts on CPB funding for about 43% of our annual operations budget. That funding allows us to cover more local news as well as provide high quality national programming. At KWSO we are always interested in growing to provide more content and service to Warm Springs not less and so we will strive to do so regardless of what occurs at the federal level. We can use your help. Please consider becoming a KWSO sustaining member or making a one-time donation today. To become a member – visit https://kwso.org/support/listener-support/sustainingmembership/ or for a one-time donation – go to https://kwso.org/shop/.
