COVID-19 Community Report 2020-21

Starting in March 2020 in the beginning of the pandemic shutdown, Davis Media Access Executive Director Autumn Labbe-Renault started producing and hosting live radio shows on KDRT 95.7 FM airing Tuesdays 12-12:30pm and Fridays 12-12:30pm to help update the community about COVID-19. This show became a compendium of local resources with check-ins from local officials and other community leaders and represents an example of the importance of local community media centers serving as a hub for vital local information. Over 50 episodes aired.

DMA During COVID-19

Since closing the facility on March 13, we’ve navigated a broad range of operational/technical/programmatic and administrative challenges during quarantine. We’ve helped some of our radio and TV volunteers as they’ve navigated producing from home--and commiserated with those who couldn’t. And we’ve adapted on other levels, working to fill budget gaps that are a byproduct of this time, while striving to respond to community requests for help with events that are now virtual. In short, though the building has been closed, the organization has not!

Through it all, we’ve kept abreast of the ever-changing laws and public health orders. In particular, we are following the guidelines for reopening developed by the John Hopkins Center for Public Health and Yolo County Public Health. Our policy and timeline has been developed by staff, and was vetted and approved by the DMA board at its June meeting.

KDRT Highlights

Grassroots gratitude from KDRT: More great shows and live music coming up

We are sending out a HUGE thank you for your support so far! -- but the special events and programming we've planned as part of our annual Fall On-Air Fundraiser will continue through next week. Please consider donating to KDRT to support your local grassroots radio.

Meanwhile, we invite you to come hang out with KDRT DJs, volunteers and other fans of local music at these great shows coming up:

December 7, The Green Grass Snakes perform the entire Beatles' Rubber Soul album at Davis Odd Fellows Hall, 7 PM
December 8, Anton Barbeau and Charming Disaster at Watermelon Music -- The Melon Ball, 8 PM (tickets cost $20)

We give special thanks to the artists and musicians who helped us create the premium gifts. Former KDRT DJ Jeff Palmer created the block print "AMPLIFY" image that's available currently as a Tahiti Blue t-shirt. His other work can be viewed at Taft Street Studios. We are grateful to all the musicians who played on our Holidays at the Hall CD recorded live at Davis Odd Fellows Hall between 2011-2015, and mastered by Steve O'Neill at his Foxtail Sound studio.

(Divine) Dinner Bell Roundup (Heap) – Dec. 2, 2023

Today on the Dinner Bell Roundup at 4 pm, Dug Deep & Jess Goddèsse saddle up to serve a truckload of swank, swingin' countrified sounds for you and your hounds. Eat your fill then pay your bill at KDRT.org/donate. :-)

The Divine Electric Compost Intervention! – Dec. 1, 2023

Tonight at 6pm DJ Dug Deep will be joined by Jess Goddèsse as they combine their respective radio shows into a magnum opus, the Divine Electric Compost Intervention! Why would they attempt such a massive undertaking, I hear you ask? Well, it's fundraising time around the old community radio station, and we will be imploring listeners to make a donation and keep KDRT alive and well. You can donate a little sumpin sumpin yourself by going to KDRT.org. Should be a lot of fun and a lot of great music, so don't miss it!

Odd Fellows Davis Lodge with Noble Grand Larry Guenther, Dec. 1, 2023

This week we have the pleasure of learning about the Odd Fellows, Davis Lodge. Lodge Noble Grand Larry Guenther explains the mission and opportunities offered by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows -- an amazing and unique group of concerned volunteers -- to help citizens of their community. According to the Odd Fellows Creed, members believe in the universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Odd Fellowship is non-partisan, non-sectarian, and welcomes all people without regard to religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, and national origin.

The Davis Lodge has more than 80 committees working with its volunteers to make Davis a better community for all of us. Listen in as Larry does a great job of representing the Odd Fellows.
