Community Discussion: Broadwater County KDGZ 98.3 Radio

Susie Hedalen

Townsend Schools Superintendent

KDGZ 98.3 Broadwater County Radio Station and Townsend K12 School District #1 request community discussion surrounding the preservation of service.

KDGZ 98.3 Radio operates at a loss resulting in a negative impact to the Townsend School District General Fund. Renewed participation is required in order to make KDGZ 98.3 a sustainable service for the community. We also want to further discuss how we can make the most of the radio station for the community.

There are other technologies that have emerged to replace the current Townsend Schools sporting event broadcasts with minimal expense; however, we want to ensure we continue the radio station as a partnership with others if it is of value to the community.

KDGZ 98.3 is a community partnership, we want to hear from you. Join us on November 6, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. at Broadwater Community Room to collaborate with school staff, community members, and interested partners to create a viable plan moving forward.
