PRESS RELEASE: COMMUNITY RADIO KNSJ 89.1 FM SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE WHEN A WINTER STORM TOPPLED ITS RENTED TOWER

A KNSJ fundraising campaign has been created. Click Here to Donate.

February 27, 2026

Our volunteers have confirmed that the American Tower Company’s tower on Monument Peak at 6,200 ft. elevation collapsed in the February winter storm due to severe ice accumulation and wind. The tower where KNSJ rented space since beginning broadcasting on July 4th, 2013, is now a crumpled pile of steel and cabling. The tower also hosted two cell phone transfer stations, for AT&T and T-Mobile, as well as several other smaller clients. KNSJ was the only broadcast station on the tower. KNSJ is still streaming online, but restoring our broadcast signal will require urgent funding for engineering, equipment, and a possible new site.

WOMEN’S HOUR with Patricia Law Wed 5pm

UNSEEN: THE LOAD WOMEN CARRY

Guest Tammy Schwinegruber

Tammy Schwinegruber is the founder of Royal Retreatments™ and a speaker and educator focused on emotional load, nervous system maintenance, and the pressures women often normalize while continuing to function at a high level. After recognizing how much stress she had normalized in her own life, Tammy became passionate about changing the way we think about restoration—not as something we earn after burnout, but as part of maintaining our wellbeing along the way.

Through private immersive experiences, public education, and community wellness initiatives, her work explores the invisible responsibilities women carry, why we often postpone our own restoration, and how creating space for recovery can help us become more present in the lives we’re working so hard to hold together.

Want to know how much emotional load you may be carrying? Take the complimentary Emotional Load Index™, a brief self-assessment designed to help you recognize the pressures you may have normalized and better understand your current emotional load.

● “Unlimited Money for Bombs”: Democrats Slam Hegseth for Seeking $67B for Iran War

● Trump Says Images of Bombed Iran School Could Be “AI” But Study Confirms U.S. Killed 140+ in Strike

Democracy Now! produces a daily, global, independent news hour hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan González. Our reporting includes breaking daily news headlines and in-depth interviews with people on the front lines of the world’s most pressing issues. On Democracy Now!, you’ll hear a diversity of voices speaking for themselves, providing a unique and sometimes provocative perspective on global events.

Amy Goodman is the host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, a national, daily, independent, award-winning news program airing on over 1,400 public television and radio stations worldwide.

The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard honored Goodman with the 2014 I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence Lifetime Achievement Award. She is also the first journalist to receive the Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the ‘Alternative Nobel Prize’ for “developing an innovative model of truly independent grassroots political journalism that brings to millions of people the alternative voices that are often excluded by the mainstream media.” She is the first co-recipient of the Park Center for Independent Media’s Izzy Award, named for the great muckraking journalist I.F. Stone, and was later selected for induction into the Park Center’s I.F. Stone Hall of Fame. The Independent of London called Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! “an inspiration.”

Goodman has co-authored six New York Times bestsellers. Her latest, Democracy Now!: Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America, looks back over the past two decades of Democracy Now! and the powerful movements and charismatic leaders who are re-shaping our world. Before than, The Silenced Majority: Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope, and Breaking the Sound Barrier, both written with Denis Moynihan, give voice to the many ordinary people standing up to corporate and government power. She co-authored her first three bestsellers with her brother, journalist David Goodman: Standing Up to the Madness: Ordinary Heroes in Extraordinary Times (2008), Static: Government Liars, Media Cheerleaders, and the People Who Fight Back (2006) and The Exception to the Rulers: Exposing Oily Politicians, War Profiteers, and the Media That Love Them (2004). She co-writes a weekly column with Denis Moynihan (also produced as an audio podcast) syndicated by King Features, for which she was recognized in 2007 with the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Reporting.

Co-hosts Amy Goodman and Juan González and the Democracy Now! news team have garnered more than 60 top journalism awards.
