Talk of the Nation with the political junkies Ken Rudin and Ron Elving will be back on KSKA Wednesday mornings from 10:00 a.m. - noon. Thank you for your emails letting me know how important NPR programming is to your Wednesdays.

The Infinite Mind on KSKA will continue. The producer of the program confirmed that even though they have been dealing with financial challenges, news of the demise of The Infinite Mind from the airwaves is premature. We look forward to new episodes of The Infinite Mind on KSKA in the future.

Running on KAKM, Channel 7 will be simulcast on KSKA August 18, 19 and 20. Candidates running for state house, state senate and U.S. House and U.S. senate will be heard on KSKA in August.
