KBOO Community Radio and Media Center:
“Working together to transmit culture, news and music that matters.”
The KBOO Mission -- from the 2011-2016 Strategic Plan
So, 3/5s of the way into this plan, how are we doing? KBOO is most certainly not a radio star -- and if you look at KBOOs attempts at making itself better known via videos, its future as a multimedia center is less than stellar.
The KBOO of "What's Happening Now"
KBOO broadcasts 24/7 and has many opportunities to video events at the station -- most notably live performances. However, apparently nothing worth putting on video has happened at KBOO in the past two months. The most recent videos are from 2 months ago; an interview done in January (225 views), and two snippets of a Feb. performance (with 24 views & 100 views).
Videos featuring KBOO DJs
Videos featuring KBOO DJs were posted 2 and 3 months ago. "To celebrate its 45th birthday, KBOO Community Radio invited 45 DJs to spin 45 RPM records in 15 minute sets." Why not 45 minute sets? Maybe that would have interfered with the broadcasts of "non-locally produced radio but KBOO cash-cow" Democracy Now. When did this happen? No date for this memorable event is mentioned.
But cool! 45 videos of 45 DJs doing 15 minute sets! Well, no. Only 10 videos. About 3 minutes each.
On the radio, these DJs "shared some exciting, beautiful, and occasionally very strange music". The videos? "After their set, several DJs discussed their 45s and what KBOO means to them." You don't get to hear the exciting, beautiful or strange music. You get to hear the DJs talk about music you never get to hear. "One of these records I played, um..." This does not make for a compelling video experience.
But, even so. KBOO's 45th birthday! 45 years of serving the community, cultivating relationships, establishing deep roots into the Portland psyche, training 100s, nay 1000s of volunteers. Certainly these videos of the people whose voices and music selections are heard on KBOO regularly got lots of views. Maybe not.

A Perspective on KBOOs Progressive Perspective
Maybe there is more interest in the huge community service KBOO provides to Portland's radical community. For example:
Rally in Portland, OR to Halt Logging of the Jazz Timber Sale: 6 views
Greenpeace Rainbow Warrior Tour - Part 1: 18 views...
KBOO shall be a model of...
Well, but certainly people want to know about the very special culture of KBOO itself, and the ethos that guides it in the quest to serve the community.
