Jazz on 88 FM KBEM

Jazz At Southwest Team,

Hello everyone. I hope that all of you have enjoyed the first two episodes of Jazz At Southwest. This is the first time in the history of KBEM that we have dedicated an hour-long series of shows to highlight the amazing music program at Southwest. I am extremely grateful that you have allowed us to share our audience with your very talented students and children. In case you missed it the first two episodes of the show are posted on our webpage here…

As we continue to record more shows we will be expanding the show to a YouTube page after we add a few more upgrades to our studio set. KBEM is here to serve the students of the Minneapolis Schools first and foremost and this show meets our mission like no other program we broadcast.

On March 13th we will be in our Spring Pledge Drive and have the opportunity to broadcast the show live! We are looking for a few volunteers to answer phones that night from 6:30 – 9:00 PM if we do the live. We are able to do an extended two hour show that night from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM to help raise money for KBEM and to continue production on this show. If you are available to help and would like to record a testimonial about why listeners should support Jazz At Southwest please contact me I would really appreciate it! We are also looking for business sponsors that can help support the production of this show. If you know of any interested businesses in the Southwest naiborhood that would like to sponsor the show we should try to arrange a meeting with them to talk about creating some on air promotions.

Thanks again and please if you have any feed back about the show let me know and be sure to catch every episode of Jazz At Southwest Tuesdays at 7:00 PM only on KBEM 88.5-FM Jazz 88!
