This is from the Manager’s Desk. Once again, the members of KGOU have stood up and have been counted. I am very happy to report that membership pledges of support have continued to come into KGOU, and we are now past our spring membership goal of $180,000.

This is great news and it means we can finish off this fiscal year and start the new one in July with confidence that listener support remains strong.

I’m sure you’ve heard that NPR is ending the broadcast run of “”Talk of the Nation” on June 27th. KGOU has carried “Talk of the Nation” since 1996 and you have consistently supported the program.

Because of the show’s popularity, we were just as surprised as you at the news.

This is from the Manager’s Desk. Well, on some days it feels like you have a lot of energy and can spend that energy on very productive things. Then things don’t happen as fast as you had expected, or wanted.

So you redouble your efforts, keep a stiff upper lip, and move forward. And things don’t happen as fast as you had expected or wanted.

Together we can do it!

As I’ve been pondering KGOU’s fortunes, I realized something I want to confess this week. You may find it strange, but maybe not.

For KGOU’s 30th anniversary year, I want to share a bit about KGOU’s financial picture this fiscal year and do a quick comparison to the past.

A lot has changed since KGOU became a public radio service in 1983. I joined KGOU as General Manager in 1988, so I’ve seen a lot of those changes.

Welcome to the new KGOU web page! We have had this public now for a while, tweaking here and fixing there, but overall we hope you will think this is an improvement. You will see that it keeps many of the features from the past webpage, but this one is organized differently and looks fantastic.
