KRBD budget cuts

Good morning.

I am asking for your help today in lieu of the proposed 59% budget cuts to public broadcasting. We view these cuts as excessive and disproportionate causing significant harm to our system. We know KRBD plays an important role keeping our community informed, educated and entertained. I ask that you place a call today to your legislator and ask where they stand on the 59% cut… a $2.5million cut – that would deeply impact all the stations in the state.

For us at KRBD, it will mean loss of jobs and loss of services.

Please help and call today or over this weekend.

Thank you for all you do for community radio.
