KPCW 2017 Winter Pledge Drive & Summit SIR

KPCW Radio is a non-profit, volunteer supported organization whose mission is to educate, inform, entertain and provide access to a diverse community with quality local, national and international programming.

On-air since July 2, 1980, KPCW 91.7 FM reaches 73% of all adults in the Summit and Wasatch counties in Utah at least once a week, 12 times more than any other radio station in the area.  For 55% of the “Wasatch Back” population, KPCW is the “most trusted” news source and serves as the only daily source of local information.

Recently Thomas Wright, President and Principal Broker, and Dave Johnson, Managing Broker, led the fundraising on Valentine’s Day for Summit Sotheby’s International Realty during the KPCW pledge week. Sales associates, staff and supporters of Summit Sotheby’s International Realty called their pledges in or donated online.

Here are just a few things people love about KPCW:

  • KPCW keeps you up-to-date on current road conditions and the best way to get in and out of Park City.  We let you know of any emergencies or road closures so you can adjust your travel plans accordingly.
  • KPCW gives non-profits a voice by offering a free forum for other non-profits in the community to let people know about upcoming events. By listening to KPCW, I know what music and theatrical events are playing around town. KPCW is the place to listen for all the great work that our nonprofit community does in the area.
  • The volunteer DJs at KPCW make it really feel like a community radio station. Each DJ shows their personality with the music they play and I LOVE IT. No matter if they are young or old DJs, it makes KPCW belong to community.
  • KPCW is able to reach out to the Latino community with Cada Domingo, a Sunday evening program that translates the week’s news into Spanish. Cada Domingo helps keep the Latino population informed and a part of the community.
  • KPCW provides a free Lost &Found service online where people can find their lost dog or wallet. It is a great resource for the community and an instantaneous way to get your lost or found information out there.
  • KPCW’s news department provides the information listeners need. Hourly local weather & traffic, City government, planning and County Commission as well as trail reports and lost & found are unavailable anywhere else. They always manage to show “both side” of a story and listeners are always informed and “in the know” by tuning into KPCW.
  • KPCW is your community voice. No matter how small or big the amount our listeners give, KPCW is supported by everyone and that’s what makes 91.7FM so special. Give what you can and let’s keep KPCW on the air.
