Thanks to YOU and 35,516 others who powered KEXP in 2025, we will continue to broadcast human-curated radio, bringing you great music whenever you need it, and reaching more listeners in every corner of the world than ever before. I’m also grateful to the 1,482 donors who helped us end the year on a fantastic note, right up to the moment the clock struck midnight on the New Year, helping to exceed our final goal and challenge by raising $258,000!
We want to say a big thank you for sharing your generosity with KEXP in 2025 and donating your hard-earned dollars to keep this community listener-powered and strong. And we’re saying thanks the best way we know how—with an entire day of donor requests! We’re dubbing it “THANK YOU DAY” from 5am to 7pm on Wednesday January 14th, and we’ll be playing what you want to hear. Email dj@kexp.org or text 206-903-5397 on 1/14 with your song request and if you’d like to, let us know what moves you to support KEXP!
What donors made possible last year is truly a marvel! Whether you joined us for our Music Heals days or 6 Degrees week on-air, at the KEXP BBQ, or at our Audioasis and Vinelands Live showcases, your support as a KEXP donor allows us to make music feel more personal and deeply human - turning songs into shared experiences that connect us all. Being able to tune into the broadcast and know that all over the world, listeners are connected by the same soundtrack at the same time transforms the experience beyond music discovery to something heartwarming that fills all of our metaphorical cups.
KEXP is always free for anyone to listen to, and it’s your participation as a donor that keeps KEXP accessible for all. Your support powers what you love about KEXP, and creates a welcoming home for music lovers everywhere. I hope you’ll tune in next Wednesday, January 14th all day long for Thank You Day!
From each and every one of us, thank you for your trust, your passion, and your stewardship of KEXP. Sending our best wishes to you and yours for 2026.
