KLUX hosting annual on-line fundraiser

KLUX 89.5HD is holding its annual on-the air, fall "Pledge Fest" fundraiser beginning today, Aug. 29. The two-day event will feature KLUX air personalities and guests making on-air appeals for support and taking phone pledges for the listener supported station.  The goal of the two-day event is $16,000. 
 
Aside from raising operating funds, station officials are hoping to obtain additional donations to complete funding of the recent increase in the station's digital power.  With a legacy analog signal covering the bulk of South Texas, KLUX was the first local station to broadcast in Digital HD.  
 
Winner of the 2016 National Gabriel Award for "Station of the Year', the non-commercial station also has a strong commitment to local Emergency Management and the Local Emergency Planning Committee and was singled out in 2016 by the Emergency Managers Association of Texas for its outstanding
Media award.    
 
The station serves the Catholic Diocese of Corpus Christi with a format of "Easy Listening" music and inspirational/educational messages.  Widely known for making free air time available for local civic and religious not-for-profit organizations, the station is celebrating 31 years of service to South Texas.
