“Defunding public media doesn’t punish NPR—it guts the emergency lifelines that small towns and Tribal communities depend on.” said Rima Dael, CEO of National Federation of Community Broadcasters in an op-ed article for The Free Press.

As the headlines came in Friday night, the House gave the final approval to the Trump administration’s $9 billion rescission package that aimed to claw back money already allocated for public broadcasting and foreign aid spending at a 216-213 vote. This bill eliminates $1.1 billion in public media funding that has already been approved for the next two years.

KMUD spoke with Serah Mead, the Director of Member Engagement at NFCB. There Mead supports member stations in which KMUD is a part of. Mead in this special for Public affairs will go in depth about the new challenges community radio stations might be facing now with this clawback.

KMUD News — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 00:12:48 +0000

Redwood Community Radio, KMUD, has just suffered a devastating blow with the loss of roughly 25% of our annual operating budget due to the rescission bill’s elimination of federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet, this is about the soul of our rural North Coast community and the vital connections that keep us together, informed, and safe.

Without federal CPB funding, we're facing an existential threat. Unlike urban public radio stations with access to corporate sponsors and large university budgets, rural stations like KMUD depend on a combination of federal support, listener contributions, underwriting, fundraising events, and grants.

What does this mean for KMUD?

Without federal CPB funding, we're facing an existential threat. Unlike urban public radio stations with access to corporate sponsors and large university budgets, rural stations like KMUD depend on a combination of federal support, listener contributions, underwriting, fundraising events, and grants.

This means difficult choices will need to be made about programming, staff, and equipment. It means potentially reducing our hours of operation or eliminating crucial services we provide, including less local news coverage, fewer emergency updates, and a weaker voice for our region. It means that we’d need even more volunteer hours, and many of our volunteers are giving as much as they can already.

KMUD is Community!

KMUD is more than just a radio station, it’s who we are. In an age of social media echo chambers and corporate media consolidation, community radio represents something increasingly rare: authentic local connection. We're not owned by a distant corporation or beholden to advertisers in other states. We're accountable to you, our neighbors, because we are you.

KMUD doesn't just broadcast to our community, it amplifies our community's own voice. Every day, we create space for local voices to be heard. We honor the rich heritage of our tribal nations, whose voices share their stories, languages, and traditions. We celebrate local musicians who might never get heard on corporate radio. We preserve the oral history of our region through interviews with longtime residents. Nonprofits and community groups use KMUD airtime to mobilize volunteers, announce meetings, and share resources. This is community in action, neighbors helping neighbors build the community we all want to live in.

KMUD is Vital Emergency Information

In our rural community, cell towers are sparse and internet service is unreliable. When storms roll in, earthquakes hit, or wildfires start, we can't always count on modern technology to keep us connected. But we can count on KMUD. For decades, KMUD has been here during every major emergency, providing real-time updates from local sources within our community.

When you support KMUD, you're supporting a culture of mutual aid, environmental stewardship, and inclusiveness. Most importantly, you're affirming that the bonds between us, forged through shared geography, common challenges, and mutual care, are stronger than any budget cut or federal policy change. When you tune in, you're not just hearing music or news; you're participating in a living, breathing network of neighbors who care about each other.

Support YOUR Local Radio

We're not asking you to save us; we're asking you to join us in saving something we've built together. Whether you can give $10 or $10,000, your support sends a clear message: our rural community matters, our local voices deserve to be heard, and the culture of connection we've created through KMUD is worth preserving. If you're already a supporter, please consider making an additional donation or increasing your monthly donation. We encourage you to please ask your friends and family to join you. Share our story on social media. Tell your neighbors why KMUD matters to you.

Stand with KMUD. Stand with your community. Stand with the culture we've created together. Please donate now at kmud.org or Venmo @kmudradio, because community radio isn't just what we listen to, it's who we are.

KMUD News: A Juneteenth Special from Black Wall Street

KMUD News — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 00:51:12 +0000

In place of tonight’s regular newscast, KMUD is sharing a special Juneteenth report.

In June 2020, KMUD's Lauren Schmitt was in Tulsa, Oklahoma — the home of Black Wall Street and the site of one of the most atrocious race massacres in U.S. history: the Tulsa Massacre. At that time, the city was both celebrating the Juneteenth freedom holiday and bracing for what was to come. Then-President Donald Trump had scheduled his first campaign rally since the COVID-19 outbreak — set to take place in Tulsa, during the near-centennial of the massacre, and on the very day the nation honors Black freedom: June 19th, or Juneteenth.

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the emancipation of enslaved people — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, it stands as a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.

That Juneteenth in 2020 came just weeks after the police murder of George Floyd, as the Black Lives Matter movement surged nationwide — especially in Tulsa. Many feared the President’s decision to hold a rally on such a significant date, in such a charged location, could spark unrest. Tensions rose as his supporters arrived in the city, many wearing red MAGA hats.

Exactly five years ago, KMUD News was there for the entire Juneteenth weekend.

Tonight, we honor the voices of Greenwood — Black Wall Street — and those who continue the fight for justice and freedom.

Because of this, a coalition of environmental organizations in the three states—including Humboldt-based EPIC—has intervened in the lawsuit.

Immigration Resources in Mendocino County

KMUD News — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 17:36:30 +0000

Since taking office, President Trump has signed 10 executive orders on immigration aimed at increasing border security, sparking anxiety in immigrant communities—including those living here in Mendocino County. California has around 2 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom work in agriculture, one of the largest industries in Mendocino County.

Although Mendocino County has not been designated an official sanctuary county, it falls under the jurisdiction of California’s sanctuary law, which has made the state a haven for millions of undocumented immigrants. California enacted its sanctuary law in 2017, when Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act, limiting local police and certain public entities, such as schools, medical facilities and courthouses, from coordinating with ICE officials on deportations.

But the law does not regulate what federal officials can do within a state because federal law overrides state law under the constitution’s Supremacy Clause. This means ICE officials can still deport undocumented immigrants, even if state law prohibits local officers from working with federal agents.

President Trump’s recent orders to increase deportation efforts have sparked anxiety throughout immigrant communities, affecting mental health and well-being.

Federal Funding Freeze Impacts to the North Coast

KMUD News — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 04:00:51 +0000

The recent federal funding freeze has caused significant concern and potential disruption across various sectors on California's North Coast.

Education leaders have warned of devastating effects on vulnerable students, particularly in rural districts that rely heavily on federal funds. Healthcare providers like Open Door Clinics face threats to essential services, including medical, behavioral, and dental care, with ripple effects that could impact the entire community's health. Early childhood programs and nutrition services for seniors are at risk, potentially increasing food insecurity and reducing support for families. Fire safety and emergency services may see reduced capacity, while wildfire resilience and sustainability projects face uncertainty.

Humboldt Property Owners Seek Property Tax Relief

KMUD News — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 02:19:24 +0000

Rural Humboldt County property owners are exploring ways to lower their taxes with the help of a nearly 50-year-old California law. Proposition 8, passed in 1978, allows for temporary property tax reductions when real estate loses value due to market conditions, natural disasters, or other factors. Under this provision, homeowners can request a reassessment to lower their tax bill until the property value recovers.

This tax relief measure helps ensure property owners aren’t overtaxed when their home or land is worth less than before. Siguor-Bjorn reports...

Boise Fire Evening Update: 8/14/24

KMUD News — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 01:10:42 +0000

The #BoiseFire in northeastern Humboldt County has rapidly expanded, now covering over 8,600 acres. Despite being over 100 miles from the Humboldt city center, its plume was visible from Eureka, Arcata, and even as far south as Salmon Creek, raising concerns among residents. Trenton Peterson, an Orleans resident who lost his father in the 2021 Slater Fire, shared his experiences with the Boise Fire, emphasizing the fear and determination in protecting his recently purchased property. Over 600 personnel are currently battling the Boise Fire, now the fourth-largest active wildfire in California, though it has a low nationwide priority. The fire is primarily driven by fuels and topography rather than wind, with critical fire behavior observed as it aligns with the Boise Creek drainage. The Humboldt and Siskiyou County Sheriff's Offices have issued new evacuation warnings for areas east of the fire, including Forks of Salmon. Despite its rapid growth, containment remains at zero percent. The Forest Service is coordinating efforts with local communities and tribes and cautions against premature containment declarations due to the challenging terrain and dry conditions. They stress the importance of following official sources for evacuation updates and information.

Fortuna Veteran Celebrates 105 Birthday

KMUD News — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 01:27:44 +0000

Sergeant Don Harms, born on June 29, 1919, celebrates his 105th birthday today. A distinguished veteran of the D-Day invasion, he holds the honor of being Humboldt County's oldest living veteran. Sergeant Harms served with the 5th Ranger Battalion, attached to the 69th Division during D-Day. His military journey began in 1941 when he was the first selected under the selective service number 158, drawn by the Secretary of War in Washington, D.C. during World War II. On June 6, 1944, Sergeant Harms played a pivotal role in the Allied invasion of Omaha Beach, a crucial operation in liberating France from Nazi Germany. His battalion bravely advanced inland, overcoming unexpected challenges including locating and neutralizing German artillery positions. During the intense combat, Sergeant Harms miraculously survived a head injury when a bullet struck his helmet and deflected into a fellow Ranger. Throughout his service, Sergeant Harms earned numerous accolades including Ranger tabs, a Bronze Star with two Oak Leaf clusters, a Purple Heart, a Combat Infantry Badge, and several service and campaign ribbons. The valor of the 5th Rangers was also recognized with the prestigious Presidential Unit Citation accompanied by two Oak Leaf clusters. Today, surrounded by friends in Fortuna, Sergeant Don Harms marks his remarkable 105th birthday. On behalf of everyone at KMUD, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude for his dedicated service. Happy birthday, Sergeant Don Harms!
