READY, SET, RADIO! Keep Community Radio Loud & Local!
KSVY Media launches its 2026 year-end campaign with a $50,000 goal, emergency radios, and a season of community-powered programming.
Sonoma Valley, are you READY?
The KSVY Ready Set Radio fundraiser is officially underway! Our 2026 year-end campaign aims to raise $50,000 by December 31 to keep community radio loud and local.
From emergency communications and civic conversations to music, arts, and culture, READY, SET, RADIO! celebrates everything independent community media makes possible while investing in KSVY Media's new Three-Year Strategic Plan.
BE READY. STAY CONNECTED.
We're kicking things off Tuesday, October 13, with a special three-hour live Emergency Preparedness broadcast from 11 AM–2 PM, hosted by KSVY Board President Steve Page.
We'll explore wildfire and earthquake preparedness, power outages, cybersecurity, and community resilience with local and regional experts. RSVP
Why start here? Because FM radio is one of our community's most resilient communication tools. When internet and cellular networks are disrupted, a battery-powered radio can still receive local broadcasts. KSVY 91.3 FM is part of Sonoma Valley's emergency communications toolkit.
GET RADIO-READY! Support the KSVY Ready Set Radio Fundraiser

KSVY 91.3 FM and SonomaTV have launched their 2026 Summer Fundraiser. This summer, we're inviting our community to invest in the future of independent, nonprofit media serving Sonoma Valley.
Over the past year, our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, and community members worked together to create a bold new Three-Year Strategic Plan. Most importantly, that plan was shaped by the voices, ideas, and aspirations of the people we serve. Now, we're putting that vision into action.
Your support will help strengthen local journalism, expand arts and cultural programming, improve emergency communications, grow SonomaTV and digital storytelling, invest in new technology, and welcome the next generation of volunteer broadcasters.
To launch the campaign, generous supporters have created a $5,000 Matching Donor Challenge. As a result, every gift made during the opening weeks helps unlock the full match and builds momentum toward our $25,000 Summer Fundraising Goal.
Whether you give $25, $250, or more, every donation stays right here in Sonoma Valley. Together, we support trusted local news, music, public conversation, emergency information, and the stories that connect our community.
Thank you for believing in independent community media. Together, we're strengthening Sonoma's signal—on the air, online, and throughout our community.
