Tune in Mondays at 10am to hear a new show - Modulation, a musical experience that celebrates creativity and
diversity by combining the newest sounds in progressive pop, world beat,
indie, folk-rock, reggae, rock, electronica, chill and downtempo. Your
host, Allison Graves, offers up plenty of remixes, b-sides and the best
of what’s new.
The Board and staff at KPOV are pleased to announce our two Volunteers of the Year for 2010 - Liam O'Sruitheain and Rhoda Jones.
Liam has been a volunteer at KPOV since he took our "Be a DJ" class in 2008. Since then Liam has become one of our most active volunteers, wearing many hats at the station. One of the daily coordinators, he comes in early every week to coordinate all of the programming for Thursdays and the weekends. Liam is also the host of Slainte, KPOV's Celtic music program, which airs live on Friday from 2-4pm. You may recognize Liam's voice on Wednesday's Community Calendar. A dedicated volunteer, Liam frequently fills in for other coordinators and for the Community Calendar. What would we do without him?
Rhoda is an invaluable, long-time KPOV volunteer. She is a major power behind many of KPOV's fundraising events-- by procuring sponsors for big events like the Bela Fleck benefit, offering the Domino Room/Midtown venues for such KPOV fundraisers as the 2010 birthday bash with Pokey LaFarge and the Playing for Change film, and making sure all of the events go off without a hitch. Rhoda takes on a myriad of tasks that keep KPOV truckin'. She also helps weekly by sending out announcements of interview opportunities to our DJs and provides on-air energy and off-air support during KPOV's semi-annual pledge drives.
Thanks to ALL our fabulous and dedicated volunteers. Bend Community Radio would truly not exist without you!
2009
Charley Engel and Ellen Golodner, two 88.9 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.
