The sun is out a little bit more these days and the birds are starting to sing a happier tune. KOSU's Spring Membership Drive is underway and we are very excited about what is to come for this public radio station in 2021.
With the launch of a new local affairs program, Focus Black: Oklahoma, and the in-depth analysis of a new legislative session in This Week In Oklahoma Politics - KOSU has you covered. From Indigenous affairs, to agricultural and rural issues, and through our StateImpact collaboration, KOSU's local coverage of the issues that matter is unmatched. And whether you tune to KOSU for national news, local reports, or a music escape - KOSU has it all.
We realize the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over, but as vaccines roll out and become more widely available, we are hopeful for a brighter year. KOSU will continue to bring you all the news you need during this time for the days and months ahead. We are in this together.
KOSU has been here for you in the past year, through a pandemic, an historic election, massive racial justice protests, and several devastating winter storms. We ask now that you be here for KOSU. Become a member today. You put the public in public radio.
