Hi all,
It’s actually an announcement about a threat to funding. Please read one or
both of the scripts below once per shift until further notice. They are

Thank you!

Efforts to eliminate public media funding have reached an all-time high.
The White House has issued a memorandum asking Congress to claw back
bipartisan approved funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For
50 years, KCBX has been one of the best local sources news, great music,
community connection, and lifesaving emergency alerts. All of that is at
risk because of these proposed federal cuts. You can help by calling your
representative. Even if you’ve already done so, it’s important to raise
your voice again. Learn how at KCBX dot org.

the federal funding that makes KCBX possible — even if you’ve already done
so. Learn how you can help at KCBX dot org.
