Appearing on the Beat Farm this weekend is Larry Sandretsky, a poet and singer who writes a poem each year published by the Two Harbors Chronicle. He will read/recite the poem on the air live Friday night between 7:00 and 8:00 pm, in addition to talking with Dave and singing. Rebroadcast of the show is Sunday between 3:00 and 5:00 pm.
It’s Official! KTWH will launch on Sunday, September 13 with special programming and an Open House Sunday afternoon from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Regular programming will begin on Monday, September 14 at 7:00am.
Stay tuned for more details soon!
A day of golf, food, and fun will be held at Lakeview Golf Course on August 21 to support KTwH.
Golf teams can register at the Lakeview National Pro Shop or contact them for more information.
KTwH will be testing its on-air signal using a three hour sample of upcoming programming. Tune in at 99.5fm between about 10:00am and 6:00pm on Saturday July 11!
We will air pre-recorded samplings of programs as well as you and your neighbors giving our station ID between segments. It will be about a 3 hour loop, repeated through the day. Be sure to check us out and let us know where you can hear us! You may communicate with us via Facebook (Two Harbors Community Radio), our email THCommRadio@gmail.com, by stopping at our Heritage Days booth, or calling our new office phone: 218-595-6195! (Sorry, anyone out of the area – we won’t be streaming online this time. But we will be once we get on-air and stay there.)
Work on the studio continues as we progress toward on air broadcast this summer.
Wires are getting connected…An electrician also came in and fixed the breaker won’t stop tripping.
Equipment is being set up…
And volunteers are trying it out !
Stay tuned for information on the installation of the antenna, coming soon!
When was the last time you heard yourself on the radio?
For most of us it’s been a while, if ever. But Two Harbors’ own KTWH radio station is offering an opportunity for all of us to record their station identification that is required by the FCC at the top of each broadcast hour.
Saturday May 9, from 10am to 3pm, representatives of KTWH will be greeting you at the entry to Super One and inviting you to record the station ID together with your name and any other greetings of your choice (within FCC guidelines of course!) It will also be a chance to learn more about the station and its volunteers. Donations to the station are always welcome and earn a KTWH mug and/or bumper sticker premium, but a donation is not required to make a recording.
Once the station gets on the air this late spring or early summer we’ll be hearing our neighbors and ourselves regularly with each station ID as well as many of us doing our own programs. This would be a great time to submit a program idea or your own program proposal. Information is available at ktwh.org/programs or by writing THCommRadio@gmail.com, calling 834-2247, dropping a note to PO Box 622, TH 55616, or stopping by our studio/office in the Harbor Landing Building.
Meanwhile you can practice the legal station ID: “You are listening to KTWH-LP in Two Harbors, Minnesota”. “LP?” you ask? LP is for low power – KTWH will be broadcasting at 100 watts on 99.5FM.
