We’ve reached our goal!

Thanks to all of our members who donated to the Studio Upgrade Project!

 PROJECT OVERVIEW

C89.5 has been a launching pad for countless talented musicians, DJs, and artists in our community. By donating to our studio upgrade project, you’re not only supporting the future of this station but also investing in the local music scene.

The upgrade will make a huge difference to our students, too, giving them hands-on experience with the current technology and helping them develop in-demand jobs skills for careers in the media industry.

No amount is too small, and every dollar counts when you donate!

Together, we can ensure that C89.5 continues to be the heartbeat of the dance music community in the PNW.

Upgrading our broadcast studios is a complicated, multi-stage process, with one of the biggest contraints being that we can’t just shut our broadcast down while we upgrade everything! Fortunately, we have always had a main and an identical back-up studio (Studio A and C.) Numerous logistical and technical challenges will none-the-less make this a 4-6 month project.
