Last week we mentioned the training we have been conducting at the public library. Whether anyone who attends these classes chooses to host a radio program or not, the instruction is provided to inform and to generate interest in community radio. Non-radio host volunteers are also integral to the operation of your true community radio station although filling one-hundred and 68 hours of programming is still a goal. Conducting classes for children and teens during our DJ-101 classes during the summer, we also hope to gain some youth radio hosts as well. By opening the experience of community radio accessible to others, we hope to achieve a more diverse programming tailored to meet the specific needs of our community.
Our Kissing Alley concerts and various other programs serve to provide a venue for artists who are looking to expand and promote themselves in a more casual environment than on a larger commercial platform. This is especially important for young, up and coming performers who are looking to hone their performance skills in a supportive atmosphere. Of course, seasoned performers also have the opportunity to promote recent releases and upcoming performance dates as well. Everyone needs to start somewhere or have a place to call a home. KZSM provides all that and more.
For February, we are taking applications for couples who would like to have their nuptials performed in the Kissing Alley. A few members of our staff are ordained and are looking forward to performing services in a quaint and quirky environment. After all, why not be able to say that you got married in Kissing Alley? Wouldn’t that be a unique conversation starter and memory to share? We can perform the services at any time during the month. Please contact us at KZSM.org for more information.
