RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UKIAH
SUPPORTING THE CREATION OF A UKIAH VALLEY
STUDIO FOR PUBLIC RADIO KZYX
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Mendocino County Public Broadcasting (MCPB) has
unanimously approved pursing the creation of a studio in the Ukiah Valley; and
WHEREAS, this effort is to create a permanent facility in the Ukiah area at an easily accessible
location that allows the development of programming of local interest in a format that encourages a
wide range of opinion, perspectives, activities, and forums for discussion; and
WHEREAS, the transmission upgrade will make the signal stronger and available to more
listeners in the Ukiah Valley and it will make it easier for programmers as well as guest authors,
educators, and others to be interviewed in Ukiah rather than in the Andersen Valley; and
WHERAS, such a facility will increase the opportunities for Ukiah Valley residents to receive
hands-on experience in both programming and the technical aspects of radio; and
WHEREAS, the local airwaves may be opened to a more diverse group of people, encouraging
a broader exchange of information, engaging a wider range of opinions, and generating a larger degree
of involvement; and
WHEREAS, it will add an active, contributing member to the Ukiah business community and
implement the cash donations Ukiah citizens have made over the years to establish a Ukiah-area
satellite station; and
WHEREAS, it will allow broadcasts of local cultural, civic, and sporting events such as
symphony and theatre, meetings and political debates, and high school and college games to Ukiah-
area listeners.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Ukiah supports the
efforts of public radio KZYX to create a studio in the Ukiah Valley.
