Hey, Time Travelers...
We're about two hours away from the next Time Machine show. Several songs I've never played on the show before—plus a clip from '69 when the 'Paul is Dead' rumor really got going. It all starts tonight at 7pm at 89.5fm or catch the stream on kopn.org. Be there or...don't. 🤓.

Hey Time Travelers...
I hope you can join us tonight for another installment of the Time Machine Show. We'll be going on the air at 7:00pm with 90 minutes of great music and memories from the 1960s. (With this week's passing of Mark Volmer, we'll be playing several songs by The Turtles of which Mark was co-founder.)

Tune us in at 89.5fm, or catch the stream at kopn.org. Peace.

Hey Time Travelers…
Here’s the skinny on how KOPN 89.5 FM will be affected by cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Dear friends and supporters of KOPN,

We want to update you on a vote in Washington that threatens the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides a significant portion of KOPN's budget.

On Thursday, a rescission bill passed in the Senate and was later passed by the House. The bill eliminates the next two years of previously approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

CPB funding has been instrumental in stabilizing the operations of KOPN, providing access to national news and programming, and paying licensing and royalties for the diverse and unique music we share with you.

Without CPB funding, KOPN will lose over $250,000 in the next two years.

While we are proud to rely on your listener support to operate KOPN, this abrupt and significant change in the budget will be disruptive to operations, staffing, and programming. You know that KOPN is a shoestring operation with only two staff members and a frugal, thrifty approach to all we do. That means your generous contributions make a much bigger impact here.

With your help, KOPN will persevere to bring you the news, views, music, and talk you’ve come to expect from Mid-Missouri’s independent community radio station. Your support is needed and appreciated now more than ever.

SUPPORT COMMUNITY RADIO TODAY

KOPN is dedicated to operating a station that provides a platform for underrepresented voices, fosters understanding and peace among all people, and introduces you to diverse talk and music of the world.
