We love having so many people who contribute to the success of our station - what you see here isn't even a third of our team!

Three Ways To Support Your Community Radio This Month

Generally when people think of supporting KXCI Community Radio, they think of memberships (and for good reason: thousands of you support us this way - thank you!).

But there are other great ways to support the station you love, including some you may not always think of. In this post, we present three things you can do this month to support our programming:


#1 Donate your used vehicle to the station. It's easy - simply CLICK HERE or call 1-877-KXCI-123. We'll take your old car, truck, RV, motorcycle, or boat. You get a tax deduction and a parking spot, we get an item to sell at auction.

#2 Donate an item or a gift certificate for services to our upcoming auction. If you are a business owner or operator, artist, author, musician or a million other things, you have something to offer our Summer Spectacular auction that opens for bids on June 3rd. To learn more, visit our auction site or contact Amanda@KXCI.org.
#3 Support the small businesses that support the station. For a list of our underwriting sponsors, click this link. Keeping your shopping dollars local helps us all! And when you do shop at our sponsors, be sure to thank them for supporting KXCI.

Remembering George Jones

Country music superstar George Jones passed away Friday at the age of 81, but leaves us with a wealth of recordings to be enjoyed for years to come. Called "the greatest country singer of all time" by his friend Merle Haggard, Jones could move effortlessly from the honky tonk sound of Hank Williams to heartfelt ballads that rivaled any of the crooners of the day. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten country singles, and George charted in six different decades.

You can share your thoughts with George's family by visiting his website (click here)
