WINGS: Women International News Gathering Service

91.3 KBCS WINGS News: Women’s International News Gathering Service has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio worldwide since 1986.

The image is a banner for WINGS (Women’s International News Gathering Service). It features an artistic depiction of a woman with wings, symbolizing the goddess Nike. The woman is shown in black and white against a textured blue and teal background, giving the image a vintage, yet powerful feel. In the top left corner, the text reads, “Raising Women’s Voices Through Radio Worldwide” in a handwritten-style font. On the right side of the image, the acronym “WINGS” is displayed in large, bold, white letters. Below it, the full name, “Women’s International News Gathering Service,” is written in a smaller, script-like font. The overall design conveys a sense of strength, movement, and global outreach, aligning with the mission of WINGS to amplify women’s voices through radio.

This Way Out

This Way Out is the only internationally distributed weekly LGBTQ radio program, currently airing on some 200 local community radio stations around the world. The award-winning half-hour magazine-style program features a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the queer community (NewsWrap), in-depth coverage of major events, interviews with key queer figures, plus music, literature, entertainment — all the information and culture of a community on the move!

The image is a promotional graphic for “This Way Out,” an international LGBTQ radio magazine broadcast on KBCS 91.3. The background features a gradient of bright, rainbow colors blending into each other, symbolizing LGBTQ+ pride. In the center-left, there’s a logo consisting of a triangle with a globe in the middle. The globe is filled with colorful sound waves representing the radio format and global reach. The text “This Way Out” is written in bold black letters above the logo. To the right, there is a white bubble with the text “The International LGBTQ Radio Magazine” in a stylized font, emphasizing the show’s global and inclusive nature. Below this, there is smaller text that reads “Tuesdays @ 5AM,” indicating the broadcast time. At the top of the image is the KBCS 91.3 logo, which is a rectangular green and brown box with white text. The Bellevue College logo is placed subtly at the bottom center of the image, showing affiliation with the institution. The design is colorful and dynamic, with clear, contrasting text that is easy to read. The use of rainbow colors and the globe emphasizes the show’s focus on LGBTQ+ issues from a global perspective.
