KSVU is a volunteer powered non-commercial, listener community supported public radio service, with unique programming for un-served and underserved populations. Our signal covers the beautiful Skagit River Valley, including Sedro-Woolley, Lyman, Hamilton, Birdsview, Shannon Lake, Concrete and Rockport. Radio is another outlet to help increase the conversations and distribute local discussion, inf

ormation and entertainment. Working in cooperation with local citizen organizations, the Concrete Herald, local bloggers, churches, coffee shops and the town’s bulletin boards, the radio service is becoming a place for people to tell the stories, and give the viewpoints, share the love of music, and relay the conversations and discussions of local leaders and just regular folks. Through radio, we can easily share in the successes and talents of our neighbors and families. Radio is a hands-free medium, and doesn’t require staring at a screen. Many of the radio programs to be heard on KSVU are created by the listeners to the station, people living in the coverage area. Radio can also be a useful service to the local community during times of emergencies, when normal lines of communication are down.
