KLCC

Thank you!! All of us at KLCC are grateful for our wonderful members. We enjoyed hearing from so many of you during the Fall Member Fest, and we appreciate your generous support. Members power EVERYTHING at KLCC! Whether it's the electricity in our studios, the NPR programs you hear each day, and even our ability to put KLCC reporters on site to cover important local events - YOU make it happen. Thank you for keeping this local resource strong and reliable for Oregonians.

This week is KLCC's Fall Member Fest, and we are enjoying hearing from all of our listeners and readers who are calling in to donate to KLCC in support of our local news reporting and programs. Thank you! We are also grateful to our KLCC board members who are sharing their time with us this week to answer phones and talk with members! Damian Radcliffe, KLCC Board Member and faculty member from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication is in "pledge central" this Saturday morning. This wonderful community support makes possible the conversations and reporting KLCC provides about issues that matter to Oregonians.

Lanelle Comstock is the new CEO of the Port of Coos Bay, and Melissa Cribbins is now the Executive Director of the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP).

Some of the most beloved stories have been told both on the stage and on the screen. But what goes into bringing all story elements to life on those respective platforms? In the newest episode of Oregon Grapevine, host Barbara Dellenback speaks with Cynthia Whitcomb, an award-winning playwright and screenplay writer, about this very question. Cynthia was recognized in 2022 by Literary Arts with the Literary Legacy Award for her "outstanding, long-term support of Oregon’s literary community."
