At the June 18th KXCI Board of Directors meeting, the Board accepted the results of the annual board election and welcome five new members to the Board.
Please join us in welcoming to the Board of Directors: Andrew Agnew, Cecily Crebbs, Marc Goodman, Keith Kanzler and Debra Rodriguez.
Also at the meeting the board re-appointed two members to second terms on the board: Melanie Morrison and Hardy Smith.
And finally, we said goodbye to two board members whose terms expired. We would like to thank Mary Buckley and Don Copler for their tireless dedication and service to KXCI as members of the Board of Directors.
Voting in the KXCI board election has closed, with ballots required to have been postmarked by June 12th.
Next week a committee of KXCI board members, KXCI members and staff will verify and count the ballots. Winning candidates will be sat at the Thursday, June 18th annual meeting, set for 6pm at Plush (4th Avenue and 6th Street).
In the tradition of our annual meetings, this event will include complimentary light food and musical entertainment, this year provided by The Dusty Buskers. A cash bar will also be available. Please come meet our new (and old) board members at this public meeting. Please note: while the meeting starts formally at 6pm, the food and music start at 5:30. We hope to see you there!
Beginning Sunday, May 31st, and expected to last for a week, KXCI is cutting power at its transmittor site to about 25% during daytime hours (roughly 7am to 5pm). These daily "power downs" permit the tower maintenance company safe access to the site for the removal of old equipment from a station co-located with KXCI.
Actual times may vary depending on the work being done. The tower company is working with all stations impacted by the work to keep power reductions to a minimum. Depending on your current level of reception, you may or may not notice a difference in your reception when we are at reduced power. Webstreaming at KXCI.org and the SAP programming available through the Access Tucson channels (Cox/Comcast subscribers) is not impacted.
Thank you for your understanding and patience while we are powered down.
