From the Blue Earth River near Mankato to the natural beauty of Grand Rapids, we’ve got Minnesota covered. To help keep our channels a safe and respectful space, we ask that all comments remain relevant to the topic at hand and that participants treat one another with courtesy, even when opinions differ.

● Content that is obscene, sexually explicit, or incites violence.
● Spam, self-promotion, or product/brand advertising.
● Promotion or opposition of any political party, candidate, or ballot measure.
● Harassment, personal attacks, or targeted intimidation.
● Unintelligible or irrelevant content, including unrelated links.
● Any other content that AMPERS staff considers off-topic, offensive, or abusive. We also reserve the right to block or report users who repeatedly post inappropriate content. Our goal is to maintain an environment where diverse voices can be heard and meaningful conversations can happen.

A recent donor to AMPERS' state-wide fundraiser told us, "I live in Southeast Minnesota and listen to KQAL. I travel around up north and listen to KAXE and WTIP, too. I figured community radio is probably struggling right now. I'm thinking about my end-of-year contributions from my IRA, and I figured it would be nice and easy to support the community radio stations with one donation."

You, too, can help keep community radio on the dial.
