K-D-R-T-O!
Each second Sunday, those philanthropic Davis Odd Fellows organize a bingo benefit for a local non-profit. We’re thrilled that Davis Media Access/KDRT 95.7 FM has been chosen as the beneficiary of the Sept. 12 bingo at the Odd Fellows’ Hall, located at 415 Second Street in Davis. Community members, friends, and family are encouraged and welcomed to come for an afternoon of fun playing Davis bingo, and benefiting community radio.

Community members, friends, supporters and family are encouraged and welcomed to come to the Davis Odd Fellows Lodge for an afternoon of fun playing Davis Bingo. For as little as $12, you can sit with friends and chat or meet new people while helping support your community radio station. Jackpots are up to $250, and there will be a raffle as well.

We thank the Odd Fellows for their continued partnership and wonderful support of community organizations.

Foamy fun raises $900 for KDRT

Submitted by Autumn Labbe-Renault on Mon, 08/30/2010 - 3:17pm.

Getting ready for the autumn (my favorite season, natch), I'm reflecting on a sunny smile from a sunny summer moment. Here's George Moore, KDRT programmer and volunteer extraordinaire, at the July 4th beer concession in Community Park. George spearheaded the effort to organize our volunteer booth there, and shepherded us through the permits and process. A big KDRT thanks to you, George! And a shout out to Rod Moseanko and his friends and family, who all helped out, as well as Lois Richter for the decorations and setup, and all the other KDRT and DMA volunteers who spend the day helping serve up foam & suds.

The Legendary Doug James and the sounds of The Hucklebucks on The Grapevine August 12th

Submitted by Rod Moseanko on Wed, 08/11/2010 - 9:23pm.

It is my pleasure to host a visit to the KDRT studio by the legendary Doug James of The Hucklebucks, one of Sacramento's very best blues bands from a LONG time back. The Hucklebucks have played all over the greater Tri-County region and to points beyond.

Winners of the Sacramento News & Review SAMMIES award for Best Blues Band, these guys have a new record out called "Juke Box Blues". They will be playing a record release party at Sacramento's infamous Torch Club on Friday, September 24th, but listeners of KDRT and The Grapevine can hear a special preview of "Juke Box Blues" on August 12th....LIVE from 7 to 8 p.m.

Doug will not only hand pick some tunes from "Juke Box Blues", but will also spin some tunes from some of his favorite blues musicians that absolutely "stop time".

Join us on K-DIRT for some cool sounds and an exclusive listen to the new record from The Hucklebucks. Doug will also be ringing up a copy of "Juke Box Blues" to a listener on the air. And of course, once this broadcast is archived, you can listen to it all around the world at:

The public is invited for an evening chat about the future of broadcasting, community radio, media reform, and media advocacy at the national level with http://prometheusradio.org Prometheus Radio Project founder Pete Tridish and Policy Director Brandy Doyle.

Prometheus Radio Project is a media democracy group advocating against media consolidation and for democratic media, including low power radio, since 1998. They successfully sued the FCC in 2004 to stop media consolidation at the time, and have held 11 radio station barnraisings across the country since 2002. Prometheus is increasingly involved in international radio projects, helping to democratize the airwaves worldwide!

Come by community media center Davis Media Access, home of DCTV cable channel 15 and KDRT-LP 95.7fm at 7pm for this free event. This is a rare chance to talk with those on the front line of Media Democracy!

What do you get when you put two KDRT DJs in the booth and let them loose to talk about classic rock & soul? You get Rod Moseanko, L, host of The Grapevine and The Golden Road, and Lee Renault, R, host of The Eclectic Dinosuar, and a whole lot of fab music gab.

Donate To Preserve Freedom of Speech

This Is About You

So I know you’re writing lots of checks these days … everywhere you turn you’re being asked to contribute to important causes … well, I’ve got another one for you.
Free speech is the bedrock of our freedoms in this country and key to that freedom is that the peoples’ voices can be heard … not the voice of corporations or monopolies, not the voice of whoever is in charge, but the voice of the people.

$5k Challenge Donation - Seeking to match by June 30

Submitted by Autumn Labbe-Renault on Mon, 01/11/2010 - 5:45pm.

Davis Media Access is conducting its annual spring fund raising drive, which ends with our fiscal year on June 30. As you'll see in the progress bar to the right, we have a ways to go.

We have, however, received a $5k challenge donation that we will receive if we raise matching funds by June 30. If you have not donated, now would be an excellent time!

Why donate to DMA? DMA helps people tell their stories, to share what’s important & what connects us. We create community and foster free expression using media. We support youth media, and provide hands-on training and technical support for various media projects. Donations to DMA directly support grassroots radio station KDRT, local election programming on DCTV, and part-time staff who contribute a wealth of expertise and program oversight at the media center.

We cannot do this work without community support. DMA is a non-profit organization, and our work is made possible by your support and donations. If you like what DMA does, what we stand for and the opportunities we provide, we ask you to please list your name as a supporter. Your support helps us keep these services alive and available to all
