COVID-19 Community Report for March 31

Mon, 03/30/2020 - 3:44pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

In Episode 5 (live at noon on Tuesday) I'll continue speaking with people in Yolo County who affected or working to address the impacts of the virus and Shelter in Place. First I'll chat with Jessica Hubbard, executive director of the Yolo Community Foundation. We'll begin to get a sense of the challenges facing nonprofit organizations, and the ways that local government, business and foundations are working to help.

I'll also speak with Heidy Kellison of Downtownnorcal. Since the pandemic hit, she's been interviewing business owners in Yolo County to hear how it's affecting them.

Tune in live at noon on KDRT95.7 FM or kdrt.org, or catch the download later.

A Message from High Country Music Radio

Fri, 03/27/2020 - 6:21am | Rusty Nail

As the outbreak of COVID-19 leaves most of us doing business from makeshift offices and living room couches, it’s anything but business as usual.

That goes for our programming at KDRT 95.7 fm. With the exception of Autumn Labbe-Renault’s excellent community report of COVID-19, broadcast live Tuesday and Friday from 12:00 to 12:30, we’re relying on rebroadcasts of previous shows.

Our hardworking management and technical staff - all working remotely - are doing what they can to bring us back on air with live broadcasting, most likely from our couch or kitchen.

So thank you for listening and we “hope you’re well.”

COVID-19 Community Report for March 24, 2020

Mon, 03/23/2020 - 1:38pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

I'm getting ready for tomorrow's episode, when we'll chat with Davis Poet James Lee Jobe, and Elizabeth Gray of the Yolo County Library. Especially in times like this, we need some reflective moments and diversions! Learn about Jobe's virtual offerings at this time, and hear about the Library's e-reader program and other services.

On Friday, we'll chat with Yolo County Supervisor for District 2, Don Saylor, and also check in with the Yolo Public Health Department. As always, I include a large resource listing with each episode on the show page--some I will have read on the air, others are blog listings only. https://kdrt.org/program/covid-19-community-report

In times of crisis, especially, local media outlets are important conduits to the community. I'm carrying the KDRT/Davis Media Access banner in terms of live programming at this moment in time, and I hope it's a beacon and of help. Missing our DJs & other volunteers!

Davis Media Access - Temporary Closure

Wed, 03/18/2020 - 6:47pm | Autumn Labbe-Renault

In an effort to protect our community of volunteers, public visitors, and staff, and consistent with current public health guidelines, we have made the decision to close the Davis Media Access and KDRT facility to the general public through the end of March. This decision is implemented with our closure at 6 pm this evening, Friday, March 13, 2020. As a community facility with heavy use and much shared equipment, we feel this is the most responsible way we can help #flattenthecurve, support social distancing, and help keep the COVID-19 virus from spreading.

Behind the scenes, here is what will be happening:

For the next two weeks, I’ll be offering a live show on KDRT on Tuesdays & Fridays from 12-12:30, repeating at 5 pm both days. The COVID-19 Community Report will focus on information and calls to action at the local level, and feature a resource roundup and calls with local elected officials and other community leaders. Breaking news will be shared on our social media platforms.
