We’re launching the Power of 100 Campaign to build our very first dedicated community newsroom and broadcast studio right here in the heart of Long Beach! This will be a vibrant hub where local news, culture, and creativity come to life—powered by the people, for the people.
Over the past year, we’ve made remarkable progress—from integrating cutting-edge technology in our studio to broadcasting live from remote locations. Our momentum is strong: we’ve expanded our membership, launched nine new regular shows, and welcomed six talented staff members.
Our mission is unwavering: to grow in service to Long Beach. Our next milestone is bold and essential—a dedicated newsroom and studio space. This will be a game-changer for local journalism and community storytelling..
