For decades, KNCT has served Central Texas with reliable information, community storytelling, and the music and programming our listeners count on every day. But that service is facing new challenges.

Recent federal funding cuts to public broadcasting have created a significant shortfall for stations across the country, including ours. KNCT is now operating with fewer resources, even as the need for trusted, local service continues to grow.

This loss of support affects everything from our daily operations to the programs you rely on — from local updates and community features to the music that brings comfort and connection across our region. We remain committed to serving Central Texas with the same dedication you’ve come to expect, but navigating these changes will not be easy.

KNCT has always been strengthened by the people who listen. Today, we are fully community supported and your partnership is essential to keeping this service strong.

KNCT will officially launch its Winter Membership Campaign on February 2nd, but listeners don’t have to wait. You can contribute today at KNCT.org, and every donation made between now and the start of the campaign will count toward our overall $35,000 goal, helping shorten the drive and strengthening the station right away.

If you believe in the value of local public radio and the role it plays in informing, uplifting, and connecting our community, now is the time to stand with KNCT.

Make a contribution today and help ensure Central Texas continues to have access to this vital public service.

Want to make an even greater impact? Become a KNCT Sustainer. Monthly giving provides steady, dependable support that helps us plan ahead, invest in local programming, and continue sharing the voices and stories of our region.

Sustainers make it possible for KNCT to remain a trusted resource for everyone who calls Central Texas home.

Thank you.
