On Monday, Oct. 23, from 6-8 PM, we will be broadcasting the forum featuring candidates for the Bozeman Mayor, City Commissioner, and City Judge seats. The forum is hosted by Bozeman: City for CEDAW and will be held via Zoom, and we are broadcasting the forum live on 95.9 FM or streaming at KGVM.org.

The Health and Happiness that would normally air at 7:00 PM on Monday will air at 2:00 PM Monday – it features Eric Gale discussing activities the Local Elks’ Lodge have coming up.

The fall football season has begun! We will be carrying home games with the Gallatin High Raptors and Bozeman High Hawks here on KGVM – Ian Laird will be calling the games each Friday evening starting at 7:00 PM. If you can’t make it down to Van Winkle Stadium, you can listen on 95.9 FM or stream the game on kgvm.org.

If you are part of an organization or business that would like to sponsor our broadcasts of high school football, please email info@kgvm.org or call 406-624-6534. We’d greatly appreciate your assistance, and we will thank you during the games and during our regular broadcasts.

Joy LaClaire has been recording the daily proceedings of the Montana Supreme Court trial in the case of Held vs. the State of Montana, a case brought against the state by sixteen young residents of Montana. They argue that the state’s support of the fossil fuel industry has played a decisive role in exacerbating the effects of climate change and its impact on the plaintiffs’ lives, thus denying their right to a “clean and healthful environment” as required by the Constitution of Montana. Each day, Joy produces a digest of highlights from the day’s proceedings in the trial for her Ecotones program. You can hear the digests daily on KGVM, or you can listen to the programs any time under Ecotones.

We’re throwing a shindig at the Filling Station on Fri., Mar. 24, to help cover the cost of replacing some equipment that was damaged when our roof leaked and to make some repairs to our transmitter.

It’s going to be a big night at the Filler! Doors open at 7:00, and we’ll kick things off with the Bone Dry Comedy Hour at 7:30. Once your funny bone has been tickled, we’ll roll into an evening of great local music! The groups on the bill are the Art and Funk Collective, the Ocean Lee Band, the Jacob Rountree Trio, and the Benn & Abel Band!

Gracious local merchants have donated raffle items, so you can win some cool stuff, and we’ll have KGVM merch on hand. Come down to the Filler for a great evening of entertainment and us keep the community in community radio here in the Gallatin Valley!

Advance tickets are $15 each at EventBrite, and any remaining will be available for $20 each at the door.

This is a 21 and up event.

The crew at Bourbon have donated three pairs of tickets for the STiLGONE and MINT! show on Fri., Jan 20, to KGVM to give to listeners. If you’d like to attend the show at Bourbon on us, send an email to bob.wall@kgvm.org or call and leave a message at 406-624-6534 and let us know your contact info and answer one of these questions:
– What is the trademark neckware of the members of STiLGONE?
– What can you expect the members of MINT! to do before the night is over?
– Name one of the members of either MINT! or STiLGONE.
We’ll pick three respondents and get you and a companion on the guest list for the show. We’ll see you at Bourbon on Jan. 20.

With the cold weather, ice buildup, plenty of snow, and sudden thawing, the roof at the Labor Temple developed a leak. Which lead us to discover a fundamental truth – in the battle between water-logged ceiling tiles and electronic equipment, the ceiling tiles win. We lost some gear this week in the studio – a couple of mixers and some miscellaneous equipment. Luckily the main board and PC were unscathed. But we are going to be replacing some things, and we would greatly appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide. You can use the support link to donate online or find instructions for mailing in a donation or dropping it off.

Also, keep your eyes open for a fundraiser event coming up soon – there will be music!

Thanks for your help and attention, and thanks in advance for any support you can provide.

We are really excited to celebrate our birthday with some great local musicians at the Rialto Theater in downtown Bozeman! The celebration is on Saturday, June 11. Tickets available at EventBrite.
