On July 4th, 2013, an independent people-powered radio station took to the San Diego airwaves dominated by the corporate media. Community radio KNSJ 89.1 FM had a mission–to be a catalyst for an informed community, to use its creative energies to “network for social justice” and to “empower members to create high quality radio for people and viewpoints which have been historically marginalized and traditionally excluded by the commercial media.”

10 years later, the media landscape is more homogenous and monopolized than ever. The rampant spread of misinformation throughout our increasingly corporatized digital media platforms means that now more than ever, independent media is critical to the democratic discussion. This is why KNSJ matters and why we are marking a decade on the air with a celebration! 

Our festivities will include a courtyard reception, a beautiful program and a plated dinner, live entertainment, an opportunity drawing with prizes from your favorite local businesses, and to top it off, an after party for those who want to stick around and dance the night away. 

In honor of Veterans Day, those who have served are invited to use the discount code VET for 15% off of any ticket price. Interested in volunteering? Email gala@knsj.org
