KRSN will shutdown on August 30th
KRSN will shutdown on August 30th
KRSN AM 1490 and FM 107.1 will be going dark after Sunday August 30. David and Gillian Sutton have proudly owned and operated the community radio station for the last 15 years, broadcasting local news, weather, sports and a variety of programming for your enjoyment. David and Gillian both grew up in Los Alamos listening to KRSN, and when the station was in bankruptcy and for sale, they felt it was important to keep the community station broadcasting. Gillian had worked at KRSN when she was in high school, and with David’s skills as an engineer, they took a leap of faith and embarked on a career as radio broadcasters. KRSN broadcasted high school sports, and relatives of local athletes tuned in from all around the country.
With the Voice of the Hill Toppers Gene Mortenson and crews called football, soccer, basketball, volleyball and baseball, and Rick Pickard joined David announcing ice hockey, the recordings of the games created valuable memories for Topper families. That’s approximately 150 Topper football games, 500 basketball games, 300 baseball and softball games, 150 hockey games and a few hundred more volleyball, and soccer games.
I imagine lots of local broadcasters are hurting right now.
