KDNK

KDNK (88.1 FM) is a community access radio station broadcasting an eclectic format including music and local news. The original idea for the station came from Lee Swidler, who placed an ad in the local newspapers, looking for volunteers to help him bring the station to fruition. A group including Bruce Stolbach, Bill Phillips, Brian Vancil, Jim Groh, Brenda Jochems, Pat Noel, Wick Moses, and Marple Lewis met in Swidler's locksmith shop at night, plotting their strategy. Using an NTIA grant and money pledged by local residents, KDNK took to the air on April 15, 1983.
