An urgent message from KOSU

7/13/2025
In the next few days, the U.S. Senate will consider a package that would devastate many public radio stations by clawing back two years of previously approved funding. At KOSU, it would significantly impact our ability to provide emergency alerts and Oklahoma news. You can help by calling Senator Lankford and Senator Mullin to ask them to resist the rescission because of the impact it would have on Oklahoma. Here is a sample script. Sen. James Lankford: 202-224-5754 Sen. Markwayne Mullin: 202-224-4721 Don't live in Oklahoma? Check this listing for your Senator's contact information. Find out more on how you can make a difference at kosu.org/cuts.
