Alternative Public Radio station KGLT-FM, located on the MSU campus in Bozeman, has announced their fall Friends of KGLT Record Fair & Music Swap. The one-day-only event will take place Saturday, October 18th, in rooms 233 and 235 of the Strand Union Building on the Montana State University campus.
The event will run from 10am–3pm with FREE admission, preceded by an “Early Bird” special hour for collectors from 9–10am. With a $5 donation, the first hour allows real vinyl hounds first dibs on the rare, collectible vinyl, CDs, cassettes and hi-fi gear being offered by KGLT, and the vendors, who give a percentage of their sales to the station.
All event proceeds benefit KGLT, guardian of all music and community information, an independent, free-form college radio in operation since 1968. These events are even more important now due to the absence of federal funding. Friends of KGLT vinyl events brings together a vast community of music listeners and fans from across the broadcast area, which includes Helena, Big Timber, Livingston, Gardiner and the Gallatin Valley.
Operated as a program of Montana State University – Bozeman, KGLT has broadcasted from the campus since its inception in 1968, providing non-commercial, educational radio to area listeners. KGLT is funded by donations from listeners, grants, and foundations, as well as underwriting and support from the Associated Students of Montana State University (ASMSU).
KGLT works with many clubs and programs on and off campus, writing and producing over 1,500 public service announcements per year on topics including sexual harassment, GED completion, senior education, preventative health measures, low cost medical services, humane control of animal population, new classes on campus, psychological counseling, crisis hotlines, among others.
