The New KNKX

KNKX delivers excellence in jazz, blues and news with stories that inspire, inform and connect our community.

For the past several months we’ve worked to define who we are as a community station and what we hope to convey through our work. We aimed to get at the heart of what makes KNKX your station, the station you valued enough to save and from that we uncovered the foundations of the work we do and service we provide. They are:

• Community
• Connection
• Storytelling
• Innovation

We believe our new logo reflects who we are and how we connect to the community. From the circle that connects our call letters, to the deep colors that evoke the lush, verdant communities we call home, we hope this is a logo you can be proud of.

If you’d like be the proud owner of our t-shirt or tote-bag with the new logo, you can make a gift to our spring drive here.

Our station strategic plan will be completed soon. It’s a vision that will increase our news, expand our music and proliferate our connection to the community.

• News: Increase our news coverage, beat system, special series and our capacity to cover our growing region.
• Music: Increase the storytelling behind our music with more artist interviews, increased live studio sessions and coverage of regional festivals.
• Education: Expand our educational outreach in journalism and music and further integrate that work into all that we do.
• Community: Increase the number of our music and news events and hosted community conversations, and expand the community of people served by KNKX.
