Black Lillies in Fort Bidwell

Open Sky Radio (OSR) was founded in 2007 to provide free-over-the-air radio & TV service to the residents of Surprise Valley, California, a vast region in extreme northeastern California on the western edge of the Great Basin The four towns that contain most of the population in the valley, Cedarville, Lake City, Fort Bidwell and Eagleville, had no broadcast service,no emergency alert system and no weather radio. Since it's founding, OSR has built two (2) fullpower FM radio stations. Both carry the Federal Emergency Alert System (EAS) services which alert citizens to severe weather, fire/flood info and CHP Amber alerts. One of these stations (KDUP), carries locally originated music & affairs programming and has sponsored dozens of music concerts in the community. The other FM station (KVYA), carries the only National Public Radio signal in this corner of the state, Jefferson Public Radio originating in Ashland, Oregon. The four digital TV channels carry PBS, CBS & ABC TV from their affiliates in Reno. Open Sky Radio and all its stations rely heavily on support from listeners like you.
