New Dimensions Listeners Come Through Big Time
by Jim Williams

One of the most disappointing phone calls I receive is the one from a radio station telling me they have decided to drop New Dimensions. On January 24th I received one of those calls from one of our long time stations, KDNK in Carbondale, Colorado. We contacted the station manager to see if we could find out what prompted the decision and to encourage the station to reconsider, but as is often the case, we were told the decision was firm. Then New Dimensions listeners let their voices be heard and one week later we received a phone call telling us that New Dimensions was off the air one week, "the people spoke", and the station was bringing us back. This story had a happy ending, and it reinforces what I have told you several times in this column. Call your public radio station. Every time you hear a New Dimensions program you enjoy call your station’s program director and say you listen and say thank you. When you call be brief, be positive, and be assured that the call you are making is important. Remember you are listening to a public radio station and you are the public. Your voice is important and powerful. During pledge drives your calls are very important. We hope you will call when New Dimensions is on because that has the most impact, but even if you call another time during the day, be sure to mention New Dimensions when you do call. Stations pay particular attention to what their members tell them. So thank you New Dimensions listeners in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado for speaking up and a huge acknowledgement to KDNK for understanding that a great community radio station responds to its listeners. It’s one of the things that makes community radio special and very different from commercial radio.
