Broadcasting again about 10:15 am. KCEI was off air about 8 am Dec. 10 probably from a Kit Carson electric outage on San Antonio mountain. Now even Kit Carson is using AI to answer outage report, using your phone number to locate outage so useless for us.

KCEI's streaming and Pacifica archive has been down since about 4:35 pm Nov. 18 and is still down. The Pacifica server in Austin, TX has crashed and Otis, who keeps it running for many stations in the network, is busy working on it. However, because a massive failure of backup power supplies in the building which houses the server, it is unlikely to be repaired before Friday night.

Thursday morning October 2nd, Cultural Energy/KCEI/KCEY won a victory in the NM Court of appeals, with their refusal to consider an appeal to overturn Judge Chavez’s ruling supporting everyone’s right to quiet title in a land grant. So everyone's rights to their private property are protected and we can continue our quiet title to vastly expand the coverage of our public radio & TV.

This Robin Collier, manager of KCEI. In a major attack on public radio, Congress and Trump have cut off funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
This won’t hit CPB stations like KRZA until October, but will be huge. KCEI will not be affected, since we do not get CPB funding, because NPR has controlled the rules to prevent new stations like KCEI from getting CPB funding and competing with existing NPR stations. While we feel CPB should have stopped accepting federal funding years ago, to be more independent, there is value in having diverse news from NPR, Pacifica and BBC news in our listening area.
So please donate to all public radio stations, including KCEI, KRZA, KSFR, KUNM, KANW, KLDK & more. To donate to KCEI on-line go to culturalenergy.org, to donate by phone call 575-758-9791 or mail a check to KCEI 112 Civic Plaza Drive, Taos, NM 87571. Or stop by Monday July 21st when we will be tabling at Cids. Thanks to all who donate to public broadcasting .
