Season's Greetings from KRTS

On our Talk At Ten program, you've listened to interviews with local newsmakers and visiting artists and writers, as well as in-studio musical performances. Our news department has kept you informed about breaking news events, such as the Hughes Ranch Fire, which blazed across the Davis Mountains in June, as well as the historic flooding along the Rio Grande in September. During election season, KRTS brought you interviews with candidates in contested races across our region. And on election night, our news team provided live coverage into the early morning hours, bringing you national, state, and local results. Throughout the year, KRTS brought you the news from National Public Radio, helping you to stay connected to the nation and the world during times of uncertainty and historic change. This fall, responding to our members, we introduced new programs from NPR: the live, call-in show Talk Of The Nation, Fresh Air Weekend, and On The Media. Our volunteer DJs have brought you music programming as diverse and interesting as the residents of the area - from folk, blues, and world music to Latin pop, classical, and jazz. Marfa Public Radio is community-owned and community-operated. The support you've shown for KRTS over the past year has been inspirational and is essential to keeping this resource on the airwaves. Please consider a year-end, tax-deductible <a href="https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=17827">investment</a> to your public radio station. We hope you enjoy KRTS holiday programming, including Hannukah, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day shows, traditional holiday stories, new music specials, and a New Years Eve extravaganza. From everyone here at KRTS, we wish you happy holidays and a fantastic new year!

We've enjoyed hearing your comments about your West Texas NPR affiliate, Marfa Public Radio. Thanks to all the new members, as well as active members who've upgraded their current membership. We're a young station, and this is truly frontier radio, which had us scrambling to fix a weak radio signal on Wednesday and Thursday. The part that broke - at our radio transmitter way up in the Davis Mountains - has now been replaced. We apologize for the interruption, and more than ever need your continued support to help fund our programming and build reliability into our service. As a result of the down time, we're extending our Fund Drive one more day through Saturday, October 25. And in appreciation of our listeners - anyone who donates today or tomorrow (Friday and Saturday) will be automatically entered into our <a href="http://www.marfapublicradio.org/sweepstakes.php" target="blank">drawing</a> for a Weekend in West Texas. The prize includes your choice of a two-night stay at the <a href="http://www.themarfaquarters.com" target="blank">Quarters at Marfa</a> or a two-night stay at the <a href="http://www.themaverickinn.com/" target="blank">Maverick Inn</a> in Alpine. And to help you get there, a $250 credit card worth of gas, courtesy of WTG Fuels and <a href="http://www.marfanb.com/" target="blank">Marfa National Bank</a>. There will be two winners! Listen to the Fall Fund Drive at 93.5 FM or <a href="http://www.marfapublicradio.org/" target="blank">online</a>, through Saturday at midnight. And thanks!

We've heard from every corner of Far West Texas - and beyond: both new voices and old friends. There is a "first" time for everything, and KRTS is proud to serve you as the "first" public broadcaster in the region. Many thanks, Tom Michael General Manager, Marfa Public Radio P.S.
