Want to know where you donations go? Here is a breakdown of the KBRD budget.
Expenses
Projected expenses only will be incurred when money becomes available.
KBRD Radio is operated by a salaried General Manager with no other paid help. Studio limitaions (3.5 foot by 9.5 foot wire cage inside transmitter shack) make volunteer posssibilities extremely limited. A new studio will be built (a beginning grant of $7000 has been provided by the estate of Larry D. Marrow) is bringing us much closer.
