Long Beach Community Television & Media Corporation

KLBP, Long Beach Public Radio is finally here.
You may have heard rumors that Long Beach is getting a radio station. You may have had that twinge of excitement thinking about hearing your friends and neighbors on the air.
That day is finally here. In less than three weeks, you will be able to tune in to 99.1 FM and hear SoCal's newest radio station.

One thing—We need your help to get us across the finish line...


Long Beach, let me introduce you to KLBP:
KLBP's first programmers.

Nearly three years ago, Long Beach Public Media was granted a construction permit in what will likely be the last wave of low-power FM permits issued by the FCC. As the only regional LPFM to be issued a permit to broadcast 24/7, KLBP will be the voice of Long Beach—broadcasting at 99.1 FM and streaming online at klbp.org.

Here are a few things we are really excited to offer: hyper-local news, telling you about events happening in the city, local artists and musicians, local talent and shows, emergency communication, giving you a chance to get on the air, media education, and so many other things we and you are imagining.
KLBP has made this a reality.

And now there is one last thing that we simply cannot do on our own. 

It is no secret that we had to hunt far and wide for a tower location. We found it, but building it out is going to cost more money than anticipated. Your support here ensures we have the funding in place to cover our crucial launch expenses, installations, and final studio resources. Any additional money raised will help kick-start our 2019 budget to support operational expenses and programming development. 

We are asking people to donate $100, but literally every dollar helps. Even $5 makes a tangible difference.

Truthfully, we would not have it any other way. The community – you, your friends, local businesses and philanthropists – will be the ones to get us across the finish line. Your donation directly supports our launch and the future of public radio in Long Beach.

We hope you are as excited as we are for a radio station we can call our own.

Thank you so much and please do not forget to join the conversation:
