Charley Engel and Ellen Golodner, two 106.7 deejays who host popular
programs and provide valuable off-air contributions to KPOV, have been named 2009 Volunteers of the Year at Bend Community Radio.
Engel hosts “Calling All Cowboys,” the most-streamed program on KPOV, as Chuckaroo the Buckaroo. He has been with KPOV since the station first went on air in 2005, trouble-shooting all sorts of computer technology issues, designing posters and art for KPOV fundraisers like last year’s Beatles Singalong, and producing the station’s annual report. Golodner, aka Dr. G, showcases the sounds of New Orleans—R&B, soul, blues, jazz, funk and Zydeco—to KPOV listeners on “Jazz ’n Jambalaya”. In addition to her on-air contributions, Golodner writes KPOV’s public service announcements, is a member of the station’s programming committee, assists on fundraising, and helped to write an important federal grant proposal for KPOV’s full power campaign.
These individuals were chosen from a long list of volunteers for their hard work and dedication to making KPOV the best community radio station possible. A big thank you goes out to Ellen and Charles, and all of the volunteers that make radio happen.
