Community radio 88.5 KRFY is expanding its “KRFY Morning Show” current affairs program from twice to three times weekly — and starting with a bang, as it launches a series of shows with candidates in the May 17 primary election.
KRFY has added Wednesdays to its Tuesday and Thursday Morning Show lineup; air time is 8 a.m. each day.
“Simply said, we’ve found more and more demand for the Morning Show,” said Station Manager Suzy Prez. “Adding the new show each Wednesday will help us meet the demand. And it is all part of our mission to provide programming to inform and educate our listeners.”
This coming week the Morning Show kicks off interviews on the new Wednesday show with candidates in the local contested primary races, leading up to the May 17 primary elections. On April 13, the Morning Show will host Republican Bonner County Commission District 3 candidates Dan McDonald and Lewis Rich. On April 20 the show brings in the District 1 state representative Democratic candidates Stephen Howlett and Bob Vickaryous.
The three following Wednesday Morning Shows will invite candidates for the Bonner County Commission District 2, Bonner County Sheriff and District 1 State Senate races.
Ongoing, the three weekly KRFY Morning Shows will continue with a rich mix of subjects, covering arts, events, lifestyle, nonprofit groups, environment and recreation, local government, public policy and more. Tune in to 88.5 FM at 8 a.m., or go hear the podcasts of each program posted on the www.KRFY.org website each afternoon following the live broadcasts.
The Tuesday editions of Morning Show are hosted by Julie Kallemeyn and Phil Hough; Wednesdays are hosted by Suzy Prez and Chris Bessler; and Thursdays by “Lonesome” Jack Peterson.
