I promise! Things here at the Coyote and Fox Talk have been going great. We are so pleased with the response we've had to Fox Talk. We are also happy that this month we could celebrate 6 months of service to this community! This week we started "The Big Show Part 2!" It airs afternoons from 3pm to 6pm. It's a continuation of our morning program and it's pretty cool!
Tonight we have another chance to support our community as we broadcast live from the new and improved "Olde Towne Ridgecrest." It's a great chance to spend a Friday night getting to know all of these wonderful businesses and their owners as well as your friends and neighbors. There will be live music, great food and specials from your local merchants. Olde Towne Ridgecrest doesn't only include Balsam Street but it also includes businesses on the side streets and Ridgecrest Boulevard. Some come out and spend a great evening!
We have some great things planned over the next few months including a huge drive to "Get Out The Vote." We want a lot of registered, well informed voters in this community! Stay tuned!

Election Day Is Here!
It has been a long haul for the candidates AND for the radio station. We have tried to present all candidates. Some of them have declined to be on the air. I'm not sure what that's about, unless it is a carry over from an ongoing reputation that the media has in being somewhat of a sabateur. We certainly don't do that here, allowing an open forum for the candidates to get their message out. We'll be doing election returns tonight, a tradition we staretd down the street. The politically active and politically curious usually stop by as we watch the numbers on the big board. The big board now being the internet. Ray will actually be taking part from Texas courtesy of the internet too.
We have tried so hard to be the community's radio station. Not just politics, but events and organizations. I am glad the listeners have not only indulged us in this, but embraced and encouraged it. We have talked about it before here, but this is what a community radio station is supposed to do. It is so lost on all of the corporate radio stations. Oh, okay, no rant here. For now.
The AM is humming along and I was suprised to learn (on a little road trip yesterday) just how extensive our caverage is. We were pretty solid to Adelanto. Wow. Of course at night we reduce power to just the IWV, but it's great during the day for the talk show fans who have to travel. For those that don't know, the talk radio fans had a real problem when KLOA switched their format, but were able to listen to some of the hosts they like on KFI. That is until December of 2004 http://www.earthsignals.com/images/kfi/ when a plane plowed into the tower. Now we have come to the rescue with Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura who were mid-day staples to the KFI lineup. Add the Angels and the Chargers and Fox Sports on the weekend and I think the AM is here to stay. Also, I don't want to sell short our local talk show. Al and Gary are doing an EXCELLENT job and did their show this last weekend at Lugo's . It was a great show with a nice turnout. Way to go guys!
