It’s that time of year folks, where the programmers here at KHOL take a collective deep breath and look back on the year in music.  We sift through the hundreds of records that made it to the KHOL “NEW MUSIC RACK” and the numerous more that made their way into our personal collections, and we choose our favorite albums of the year.  This year we’ve got contributions from many of our most awesomest and unique DJ’s!  I hope you, our loyal listeners, will comment with your thoughts on the year in music!

Thanks to all who contributed!

-Brad

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.

St. Patty’s Day Success!

Fitzgerald’s Bicycles held it’s 7th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Sale. With spring in the air locals took full advantage of the hourly discounts drumming up sales and supporting KHOL in the process. The shop donated 10% of the day’s proceeds to the station.

After the sale, we took the Wheel of Fortune to the Snake River Brewery for their annual St. Patty’s Day fest where the crowd spun the wheel and took a chance to support community radio in Jackson Hole and win lots of great prizes.

Thanks to all our listeners & supporters who paid to spin the wheel and to all of the companies that contributed prizes:

• Serfas
• Orbea
• Sugoi
• Jamis / Rudy Project
• Norco / Bell / Easton / Giro
• Jack Daniels
• Tipitina’s Foundation

Overall we raised nearly $1500 for KHOL!

We here at KHOL would like to thank everyone at Fitzgerald’s Bicycles that worked so hard      (in March!), especially Scott and Tim. Tim held the Wheel of Fortune high for nearly 4 straight hours! (all those years wrenching have built a solid set of guns on him)

And thanks to the Brew Pub (Snake River Brewing) for letting us join their annual party.
