🕰During our 45th year we are looking back at early moments and history from the inception of our station.

Take a look at the cover of our very first program guide! Our past Promotions Manager, Ron Johnson did an exceptional job archiving so much of our early print work and it is so fun to look back at today that we thought we would include a shot of some additional program covers from the early 80's.

To this day we still create Program Guides that we mail to our members to highlight new shows, specials, events, and news about Lakeland!

❤ A reminder of the value of public media organizations like ours.

Rural communities deserve local news, service, and support.

Without federal funding, stations like ours will disappear. We will face a greater news desert and kids educational programs and support will suffer.

We are still at risk - make your support heard at protectmypublicmedia.org
