Re: [Swprograms] California station playing 100% BBCWS changes hands

[Joe Buch <joseph.buch@xxxxxxx>]

I doubt the programming of the new owner will have much appeal to the folks around Pebble Beach/Carmel but I could be wrong.  Jefferson operates a number of stations in Oregon and Northern California including a bunch of translators, more translators than any other public radio station according to them. (Not counting the religious huxters proving daily what a bad money manager God must be.  As George Carlin once said, He is all powerful, all seeing, and all knowing but He always seems to need more money.)

This is from the Southern Oregon University web site:

Southern Oregon University operates Jefferson Public Radio, a network of eleven radio stations and thirty-six translators serving 60,000 square miles of southern Oregon and northern California. In most portions of the listening area, the stations provide the only public radio service and therefore play a significant role in the cultural life of the region. 

Jefferson Public Radio offers a mixture of classical, jazz, and folk music as well as news and public affairs programs of both national and local interest. Jefferson Public Radio has been recognized nationally by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for the quality of its program production. The stations are affiliated with the Metropolitan Opera Network, the Consortium for Public Radio in Oregon, American Public Radio, National Public Radio, and the Associated Press. The stations are funded by the State of Oregon, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the JPR Listeners Guild. 

Jefferson Public Radio is staffed by seventeen full-time personnel and numerous students and volunteers. Many students have taken skills acquired at Jefferson Public Radio into careers in radio or television broadcasting. The station invites participation by students from various academic areas (e.g., political science students to produce public affairs programs; music majors as commentators on music programming). 

The network's news department, supervised by a professional news director, offers another opportunity for students to experience collecting, reporting, editing, and producing news reports of local and regional interest for broadcast during the station's weekday morning newscasts and its afternoon, half-hour, award-winning regional news magazine, The Jefferson Daily. 

The Jefferson Monthly publication contains program information, an arts calendar, articles about southern Oregon and northern California, and a section of prose and poetry. Students interested in writing or providing artwork for publication are invited to inquire at the Jefferson Public Radio office. 

Jefferson Public Radio Foundation
Ronald Kramer, Executive Director 

The Foundation raises money to supplement federal and state funds supporting the campus- based Jefferson Public Radio network of public radio stations serving southern Oregon and northern California. It also publishes the magazine, Jefferson Monthly, as a service to its members. Jefferson Monthly covers news, arts, and feature items of interest to members and provides program listings for Jefferson Public Radio stations.
