Twirl Radio's Mike Lidskin Presents 700th Show This
Saturday on KUBU 96.5 FM
"The Voice of Sacramento"   

Twirl Radio's Mike Lidskin
While KUBU 96.5 FM may have only signed on for over the air programming last November, some of our radio producers have been creating shows for "The Voice of Sacramento" as an Internet and cablecast for well more than a decade.

Tune in Saturday, Oct. 3 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm for an extra long special program providing live interviews, special features and plenty of the music from the rock era that has made Twirl Radio a Sacramento standard for more than 15 years.

Lidskin was named radio programmer of the year for Access Sacramento last year.  He always posts his music line-up on his own website: www.twirlradio.com.

Congratualtions Mike for both quality and longevity on KUBU, Sacramento's only community radio station: "The Voice of Sacramento" where U can B-U.


KUBU 96.5 FM Update

Planning for the One-Year
Birthday and Holiday programs   
Radio Programming Director Shane Carpenter's latest "Radiogram" gives radio producers plenty of items to keep consider for the next few weeks:
  • Recording special holiday programming for late December and New Year's is appreciated.
  • The next radio producers meeting is Oct. 14 at 7pm in the Nevada City room of the Coloma Community Center.
  • KUBU's November Birthday should be a great time to promote the station AND to Celebrate!
  • A large group of radio producers is coming up on renewal of their $30 membership dues, and their first $96.50 special radio free for 2015.
  • Four new September graduates for the radio class, and soon we'll hear several new shows on KUBU.
  • Radio programs produced outside of the Access Sacramento studios should be turned in at the latest by 10am the day before the show airs, but 48 hours or more is better.
Overall, the over-the-air radio signal is sounding great, even as we try to compete with San Francisco's powerhouse FM broadcaster KOIT. Listerners can always tune in via the Internet from Access Sacramento.org or on mobile apps TuneIn Radio or Live365.


Free Studio Recertification Classes Available Through October

Director of Production and Training Roniecia Harris (right) talks about new equipment & safety last week to the first group of members to sign up for this new required class. 

A recertification class is REQUIRED for all Access Sacramento members  who are already certified to use the TV studio.  These one-day three-hour sessions will teach how to use new studio tripods, a new teleprompter system, and to provide a refresher on studio safety requirements.

Members who do not pass the recertification class by November 1 will not be allowed to reserve the TV studio after that time.

After this nine-week free opportunity, a fee will be charged to take the class.

Tues. Sept. 29 3pm-6pm
Wed. Oct. 7 6pm-9pm
Sat. Oct. 17 9am-12pm
Mon. Oct. 19 12pm-3pm
Thurs. Oct. 29 6pm-9pm
Sat. Oct. 31 12pm-3pm

Sign up for the recertification class while space is available by contacting the front office at (916) 456-8600 ext. 0

Access Sacramento is also gathering data to help with "crew finding" so those who either need help or want to provide help as volunteers on other shows can get connected more easily.

If you have any questions about this process, please e-mail  Roniecia Harris, Director of Production & Training Roniecia.Harris@accesssacramento.org


Classic Football Battle Friday
on Game of the Week

#8 Del Oro at #1 Folsom

by Will James

Hometown Sports

The stage is set for the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section's first classic battle of the high school football season this week as top-ranked Folsom plays host to No. 8 Del Oro Friday evening in an intriguing Sierra Foothill League match-up of two premiere powerhouses in the region.

Access Sacramento's live telecast of this colossal mid-season confrontation is the Home Town Sports Game-of-the-Week, and may be seen on Comcast Cable channel 17, Consolidated Cable channel 17, AT&T U-Verse channel 14, and the Internet at AccessSacramento.org.

Despite the graduation loss of record-setting quarterback, Jake Browning, Kris Richardson and Troy Taylor's defending D-1 CIF state champion and undefeated Bulldogs haven't missed a beat.  They re-loaded with converted wide receiver Jake Jeffrey at quarterback and carry a state-best 37-game winning streak and 5-0 mark into the contest.

Del Oro QB Stone Smartt [Courtesy: Auburn Journal]
Casey Taylor's invading Golden Eagles are likely the best 2-2 team in Northern California, having lost to Hawaii's perennial top team, Punahou of Honolulu, by seven points, and NorCal heavyweight, Bellarmine Prep of San Jose by three points.  The Eagles two victories have been by a combine score of 97-10.
