HAPPY BIRTHDAY KHOL!

Today is KHOL’s 1st Birthday!

Exactly one year ago, a small group of volunteers flipped the switch and Jackson Hole Community Radio became 89.1 fm KHOL - Jackson’s first and only non-profit, community radio station. 

Since then, that small group has grown to over 400 people - people who have hosted shows, thrown fundraisers, and donated money. It has only been with their help - with YOUR help! - that we’ve been able to turn this dream into a reality.

THANK YOU!

Thank you for working tirelessly to get KHOL off the ground, for putting in countless hours to produce insanely awesome programming, and for always tuning in to 89.1 fm. 

If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be a KHOL.

In the last year, with YOUR help, we have broadcast thousands of hours of music and original public affairs programming, hosted numerous events, held our first fund drive, added a production studio, developed relationships with numerous record labels, supported local musicians, served the community with PSA’s, shared our airwaves with local non-profits, started our underwriting, and made many many new friends.

To have done all this with what is essentially an all volunteer force is simply amazing. We couldn’t have done it without you.

And while this is certainly a moment to take pause and celebrate, KHOL won’t be slowing down anytime soon. 

In our second year, Jackson Hole Community Radio will:

 

  • Broadcast at FULL strength - reaching all of Jackson, Wilson, Teton Village, and maybe even into Idaho
  • Stream online - reaching every person who has internet access
  • Add a full time news producer to cover local stories with in-depth reporting
  • Work towards 24/7 LIVE broadcasting 

Sure, it’s a tall order…but with your continued help, I know we can do it. 

Thank you again everybody for making KHOL your station. 
Happy Birthday!
