KPFZ is pleased to report that our request for a reduced rate on tower fees was approved by a 3 – 1 vote of the Lake County Supervisors.  District 3 Supervisor E.J. Crandell, District 1 Supervisor Moke Simon and District 4 Supervisor and Chairwoman Tina Scott voted in favor; District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown opposed; District 2 Supervisor Bruno Sabatier was absent.

Our hope was to receive a reduced rate commensurate with other non-profits who rent or lease property from the County.  We believe KPFZ provides essential, high value services to the Lake County community and argued that point.  Ultimately, we were approved for a reduced rate of $500 monthly, down from $827. 

Thank you members and friends for attending the Board meetings on June 4 and June 18, 2019; testifying at those meetings; and for making calls, writing letters and sending emails in support.  We couldn’t have done this without you!

Please attend the Lake County Board of Supervisors meeting next Tuesday, June 18 at 9:30 am at the Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes, Lakeport.  This meeting is expected to result in a decision on our request to reduce or eliminate the tower rent.  

As previously stated, the rent represents 20% of our $50,000 budget. You can support our request by attending and testifying at the meeting. Testimonials are encouraged. 

You can also send your messages to the Board of Supervisors by: phone, 707-263-2368 or fax, 707-263-2207 or email:

Dist. 3: Eddie.Crandell@lakecountyca.gov

Help us fill the room and drive home the message that KPFZ provides an essential community service to all of Lake County on a day-to-day basis and especially in times of crisis when we are the only media source providing reliable, constant information – day or night – to the people. 

Please pass the word.
