A Year Later, KOOP Good As New

A little under a year ago, the building where community radio station KOOP resided was destroyed in two freak fires. Rendered homeless and limited by meager finances, the station temporarily moved its broadcasting space to 89.5FM KMFA's headquarters, while taking up residency with the ACLU Foundation of Texas to house their offices.

Thanks to an enormous outpouring of aid from the local community, KOOP was recently able to relocate to a new studio of their very own. They'll be hosting their first live broadcast from the new Airport Blvd site this Saturday morning, with the first sign-on by none other than Mayor Will Wynn.

“We would not have this new home without the support of the Austin community. We want to thank all of our supporters for making this day a reality,” said KOOP President Andrew Dickens.

Tune in this Saturday at 9am for Wynn's opening, followed by Thomas Durnin spinning the sounds of big band and classic jazz.
