As attacks on public media increased this year, we’ve counted on listeners and readers like you to be more than supporters but defenders of our critical public service mission.

Since Congress voted to defund public media last month, many of you have stepped up, financially contributing to and advocating for our station. While there’s still an uncertain and challenging path ahead, the steps we take at KUNR will be confident because of the ongoing support we’ve received from our community.

Local support matters more than ever. If you’ve considered making a donation to KUNR, now is the time to act:

In an unprecedented move, the U.S. House voted to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

This action rescinds $1.1 billion in federal funding that had already been approved by Congress and committed to more than 1,500 public media stations across the country, including KUNR Public Radio.

This is a critical moment for public media, including right here in Northern Nevada and the Eastern Sierra region.
