The new website is coming!
KBOO is currently working with C4Tech, a web design company, to build our new website. It will be ready to launch in time for the December membership drive on December 1st. The new site will feature a responsive design (which means it won't look all squished up on your mobile devices), better site architecture and menus (so you can find what you are looking for), podcasts with actual integration into iTunes and other services, and a much simpler, mobile compliant donation form!
In the meantime, please be patient with the old website - and if something stops working or you have a question, email web@kboo.org.

|
 The KBOO app is coming too!
In collaboration with Public Media Apps, KBOO is developing a robust app for both iPhone and Android devices! Our live audio broadcast, web archives, podcasts, community calendar, newsletters and more will be available at the touch of your fingertips. Keep up on station news and events with our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube channels!
