Public TV in Bay Area In Trouble


KCSM's future depends on a $1 million fundraising goal by January 1. So far the station has raised $6000. If the independent PTV station owned by San Mateo County Community College District fails to raise $1 million, they say they will need to sell the station. The article in the Oakland Tribune reports that there are no plans to sell the radio station. The article says, "Compared with its televised counterpart, the radio station is faring a tad better financially, especially after a fundraiser during the summer for KCSM Jazz 91.The fundraiser for the only station in the Bay Area with a 24-hour jazz format netted nearly $14,000." Is that a typo? The amount seems very low.

You can Help. The article offered a link if you would like to contribute.
