As Spring is upon us there are many changes and budding blossoms as the season shifts. KBCS also is going through some changes.  Please check out our KBCS Spring News post for more info and updates, programming changes and opportunities open to represent more communities and voices.

Celebrating Women’s History Month, KBCS scheduled some feature programs for broadcast during our 7am morning educational, information and news programming hour on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our Body Politic stays scheduled on Mondays at 7am and Wednesdays at 5am until the end of the month.  Their poignant and professionally produced program is unfortunately going on hiatus. We hope Our Body Politic is back in production soon and we can add them to our schedule again.  Yes! Presents: Rising Up with Sonali remains scheduled on Fridays at 7am.
