— Scott Seaton, Conductor, North State Symphony. “KFOI has been a fantastic partner since I’ve been here in the North State! My conversations with Tom Diskin on Intermountain Classics are consistently some of the most in-depth interviews that I do during our concert weeks and it is always a joy digging into the music with Tom on levels that I’m not able to otherwise (in other media outlets) due to airtime constraints. I also really appreciate how symphony events are talked about and given coverage months in advance, which is really one of the only ways for an organization like the North State Symphony to continue being a viable source of live music, arts education, and entertainment in this region.”

 

— Megan Conn, “KFOI is building a progressive community radio station in the heart of Redding with coverage throughout the north state. I appreciate their local coverage and programming plus some national favorites like Krista Tippett’s On Being and Bioneers. Their goal to empower citizens to become more engaged participants in democracy is worthy of support.”

 

— Peggy Rebol, Director of Ministry, First United Methodist Church and lead coordinator for the organizations who put on the Whole Earth and Watershed Festival.

“KFOI shares the goal of protecting and promoting a healthy environment for us all and for the land, air, water, flora and fauna of our region. They are consistently bringing added exposure for important local civic events and issues by airing live broadcasts from festivals, candidate nights, and forums and are helping to create a larger, and effective, community dialog. Their wide selection of Climate Change and Science programs bring us the best thinking from nationally and internationally respected scientists and activists. And they have created an excellent showcase of local talent for musicians, artists, actors and writers.”

 

— Tom O’Mara, “I would say, without KFOI, north state listeners would miss out on important local voices like Lynn Fritz (Enjoy Exceptional Living) and the Shasta Environmental Alliance. Keep local radio alive!”

 

— Dr. Jeff Specht, Music Director & Conductor, Shasta Symphony Orchestra.

“On behalf of the Shasta Symphony Orchestra and Shasta College, I want to thank Tom Diskin and the folks at Intermountain Classics on KFOI 90.9 FM for their contributions and commitment to promoting great Classical music and artists in our community and throughout the region. We appreciate their timely and generous promotion of our events and we absolutely love going on air with Tom to share our passions for music with the KFOI audience. Please consider making a gift offering to KFOI so we can keep Classical music alive in the North State!”

 

— Kara Krueger, CNC, Peak Wellness Group. “We have been both proud and excited to be part of all the amazing ways that KFOI is benefiting the community and providing such necessary and informative broadcasting! Thank you KFOI for all you do!! Live your best life!”

 

— Dave Ledger, President, Shasta Environmental Alliance. “I support KFOI radio because it is community based and they present an excellent array of programming. Democracy Now with Amy Goodman and Pacifica Evening News are my favorite national programs. KFOI’s extensive environmental programming addresses science and climate change issues from a worldwide, national and local perspective. Equally important are the locally produced interviews by KFOI Station Manager, Mauro Oliveira, covering diverse viewpoints on environmental issues in California and the Nation. I enjoy jazz on Dan Scollon’s eclectic show, Jazz Influences, for the diverse selections – a great listening experience. Support KFOI!”

 

— Lynn E. Fritz, MA, Producer/Host of the weekly community interview program, Enjoy Exceptional Living.

“KFOI provides a platform for diverse voices and ideas to be shared. International artists, governmental officials, community leaders and the average citizen have the opportunity to speak out on issues, events, respond to crisis, and connect to stimulate community engagement through the medium of radio. It is an extraordinary opportunity for our community!”

 

— Muffy Berryhill, “KFOI Radio offers us an alternative format for news and music. The station presents progressive perspectives on news, opinions, and a variety of musical formats that are hard to find in other media outlets. From the independent reporting on international and grassroots issues by award-winning Amy Goodman’s “Democracy Now” – to the highlighting of local events, resources, and people on “Enjoy Exceptional Living” by Lynne Fritz – to the discussions of environmental issues, the station is an important and informative alternative in the north state. Thank you!”
