The Kotg Story
What makes Kotg Radio different from all commercial stations and most public radio stations is that we are owned by the community that we serve. Members of Kotg Radio Board of Directors are elected by our membership, the Associates, and current Board members. Our programming is selected by the Programming Committee, whose members are elected by the Board and the Associates.
The biggest difference is our relationship with our listeners and our community, a relationship spelled out in our mission statement.
