Volunteer Profile
Johnny Gallagher

Johnny Gallagher Johnny Gallagher may be a traveling man at heart, but since beginning to volunteer at KVMR in December of 2006 he has managed to spend enough time here that he has become a regular and counted on member of our volunteer community.

Broadcaster Profile
Marc Cuniberti

I started out at KVMR writing the public service announcements in the late 90s after seeing an ad in the Listeners' Guide when I first moved here from the Bay Area. We got tired of the crowds and traffic in the Bay Area and my wife and I wanted a place to raise kids.

From The General Manager
Click here for a note from David Levin, KVMR's General Manager

Hey! How do I get better reception?

We share the frustration of any listener who may be challenged receiving KVMR 89.5 FM. Let me first point out that the reasons may be different for different listeners...some may be an easy fix and the others may not. Some may be challenged by geography, while some may be affected by a nearby radio station on or next to the same frequency as ours. ...
