As part of the Davis Media Access Annual Appeal, tune in this week to KDRT 95.7 fm for a week of on-air fundraising.    Support your favorite local KDRT programmer duriing this special week by going to kdrt.org/donate.   

“KDRT is a project of Davis Media Access, and the Annual Appeal is the main source of funding for the radio station,” says Jeff Shaw, Station Director,  “we depend on the good will of the community to broadcast on 95.7fm throughout Davis.”

Programmers will be playing favorite tracks, featuring guests from the community, and asking for community support.   Support is also sought for all the nationally syndicated programming KDRT airs weekly.

The week culminates in a live broadcast on June 2 from the DCTV studio featuring local musicians.    Tune into 95.7fm, from 1-5pm, to hear Josh Wisterman Trio, Ryan McBride, The Mechula, Sax By Popular Demand, and A.J. Hicks.

FINALLY! All the archives of "That's Life" from January 2017 thru today have both DESCRIPTIONS and IMAGES. That was a lot of work.

I'll think about listening to and indexing 2016 and earlier ... someday ... maybe ...  we'll see ...

Actually, I haven't even finished indexing (let alone digitizing!) all my old DCTV shows.  Those started in the 1990s and ended in 2003.  During that time I had several series and a few stand-alone programs on the television side before KDRT was formed and I switched to the radio side.

We sure had fun producing all those tv programs! 

And now I'm having fun doing my weekly radios shows.

Things always change.

But then, That's Life!
