Thank You to Everyone who supported our Spring Membership Drive !
Kootenay Co-op Radio has grown from a handful of keen volunteers who met first in December, 1996, to a Cooperative incorporated in 1998, to a fully-licensed on-air community radio station in 2000, to a vibrant community resource with over 1500 members, 130 active volunteers, and a growing listener base. On November 6, 2000, we began fulltime broadcasting at a power of 70 watts, with our antenna delicately placed on the roof of Kootenay Lake District Hospital. Our office and studios are located at #308a Hall St in Nelson, which we purchased in March 2006, and moved into in January 2007. Our signal is streamed live over the internet at kootenaycoopradio.com. In November of 2004, KCR began broadcasting to the Kootenay Lake area at a new frequency, 96.5 fm, which reaches Kaslo, Crawford Bay, Queen’s Bay, Balfour, Riondel, and all points in between. In October of 2008 KCR began broadcasting in New Denver at 107.5 fm, which will serve the area from Hills to Silverton. We are continuing to explore signal expansion options for the lower Slocan Valley.
