KPCW Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Juliana Allely and Assistant Director of Development & Community Engagement Lori Morency announce the Monday start of the station's summer pledge drive. The on-air drive runs for 28 hours from Monday, Sept. 14, through Thursday, Sept. 17; donations are already accepted online. KPCW’s goal is $375,000 against a $2.3 million budget. The station is now 100% community-supported after Congress cut $528,000 of its federal funding for 2026 and 2027. Allely and Morency
emphasized KPCW’s role in providing trusted local journalism, engaging programming, critical alerts, and community voices across the Wasatch Back. They say local nonprofits will receive airtime during the drive and free underwriting in exchange for helping reach their communities. Local businesses are contributing thank-you gifts for donors, including restaurant certificates, ski opportunities, Shake Shack, Grub Steak, Walgreens, Starbucks, and Urban Sailor.
