What is HD Radio?

HD Radio technology allows KAZU to add up to two additional audio channels to the main analog signal. To listen you will need to buy an HD-compatible radio, available at any electronics or car stereo retailer. Unlike satellite radio or some webcasting services there is no monthly fee.

Krista Almanzan
All Things Considered host - reporter - producer
Krista Almanzan started her journalism career in Iowa where she reported for television stations in Ottumwa and Cedar Rapids. She covered the 2000 and 2004 Presidential races and Iowa Caucuses.  In 2005 she won the Stanley Foundation Award for Outstanding Broadcast Coverage of Iowa's Global Connections.

Miklos Benedek
Underwriting Account Representative
Mik Benedek, a veteran Monterey Bay Area Broadcaster, joined 90.3 KAZU in March of 2005. Mik believes KAZU's public service programming makes it "one of the most important radio stations in the Monterey-Salinas-Santa Cruz radio market." He says that Underwriting announcements on 90.3 KAZU are an untapped resource for marketers in the Monterey Bay Area's business and nonprofit communities. Mik is glad to talk with you about whether Underwriting might be a good fit for your business or organization. You can contact Mik at mbenedek[insert 'at' symbol]kazu dot org. Away from work Mik gets his Zen fencing and surfing.
