Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

In preparation for the walk out, hospital management had cancelled elective surgeries, closed emergency department services in Redmond and Ballard and stopped labor and deliveries service at their Ballard location. Strikers announced their return to work for 7:30 am on Friday, February 1st. KBCS’s Yuko Kodama was at Swedish Hospital at Cherry Hill to interview some of the workers who walked out on Tuesday morning.
