KZYX&Z

KZYX&Z is Community Public Radio for all of Mendocino County and beyond. We are news, information, culture and entertainment from around the globe and from just around the corner. We're a member-owned public radio nonprofit with nationally syndicated programs from NPR, PRI, APM and Pacifica and we are community radio with locally produced programs from friends and neighbors.  And when there are fires, road closures or other emergencies, we're the best place to go on the radio dial. As a KZYX&Z listener you get radio from the neighborhood, county, state, nation and world. As a member you shape who we are and where we're going.  Mendocino County, this is your public media.  Come and be part of it.

Thanks to all who pledged - If you have not yet mailed your payment - we really need it!

We had a fine pledge drive, meeting our goal of $100K.  But we are heading into a very lean summer.  Public radio is expensive, especially in this vast rural county.  Even with three transmitters, we can't reach everyone.  And, to help our programmers not have to drive so far, we have three separate studios.  So, our expenses are more like a big city operation.  It costs us about $75 per hour to operate KZYX&Z and that is based on a very lean budget.  To actually improve things and get out of debt, the real number is easily $100.

It is thanks to your generous and continued support that we produce quality Community Public Radio for all of Mendocino County. We're community owned and operated, so we need your support. And it’s easy!
