Because of the nature and diversity of its programming, KMUW publishes a monthly program magazine, which describes program content and presents articles about the people, programs and issues featured on public radio. Membership is yet another difference. KMUW holds two pledge drives each year, typically in April and November. Listeners are invited to interact directly with the station to provide critical financial support. Questionnaires are mailed to subscribers at various times of the year in an effort to sample needs and opinions.
Members also receive each month.
