KSVR-FM is a non-commercial radio station
In order to maintain the level of service that the community expects from us,
KSVR must rely on membership support from listeners and businesses
Even with basic support from Skagit Valley College,
and some grant money from different sources every year or two,
KSVR must raise 80% of its budget from the listeners and from local businesses and organizations.
How to get a PSA (Public Service Announcement) on the air:
We will soon post a printable form.
Otherwise send email or via postal mail, including basic information about your organization or service.

Honoring its mission statement:
Some folks describe KSVR as "
...isn't it that Spanish station?...", or "
...that's the college station isn't it?..."
but those phrases just don't begin to tell the story
of the local station that represents so many diverse groups under one roof.
Chicano, Japanese, African-American, European,
Native American, Mexican, Jewish, Muslim, Conservative, Puerto Rican, Russian, Mixteco,
the list of backgrounds could continue. People from all over the world have been on KSVR,
sharing the experiences of their lives with this community.
