How Will It Serve the Community?
- Free-Form Music: Borrego Valley Community Radio will provide music from all genres, largely contributed by community members who want to try being a DJ for a while!
- Live Event Coverage: Opportunities to cover live events around the community, such as school events, community gatherings, live music, and more.
- Support Local Efforts: Promote local businesses and events while strongly encouraging community endeavors and involvement.
- Inspire Students: Amazing opportunities to reach out to students in our schools by offering hands-on workshops and activities to inspire careers in radio and communications.
- Emergency Hub: Serve as a critical hub for communications, connections, and vital information when needs arise, especially during emergencies if local cell or landline infrastructure goes down. (Reminder: Everyone should have a battery-powered radio handy!)
