Program areas at KSER Foundation
The KSER Foundation delivers noncommercial radio programming to listeners in Snohomish and Island counties, as well as the surrounding areas via two radio stations 89.9 KXIR FM and 90.7 KSER FM. A paid staff of four and over 100 volunteers operated both stations and provide local news and information, national and world news, arts, and cultural programming 24 hours a day and 365 days per year. KSER and KXIR are committed to providing diverse point of view encouraging civic engagement, promoting and exchange of information, and showcasing local voices, community leaders and artists. The same programming is heard on both stations. KSER is the only independent public radio station in Snohomish County. We work diligently to be good stewards of our donors support and promote the value of community service.
