KOOP is a community radio station owned and operated by its members. Any member of the community can apply to produce a radio program, and KOOP provides facilities and training. KOOP has about 60 different locally-produced programs airing every week, in time slots of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Each of these programs is produced by an individual member or by a collective of members. KOOP provides a diverse array of programming, emphasizing programs that deal with local issues and/or serve communities which are under-served by the mainstream media.
TEXAS POLITICS TODAY will address a vacuum in radio programing. It will be the only weekly radio program in Texas that focuses on Texas state and local politics. We believe that, just as war is too important to be left to the generals, politics is too important to be left to the politicians. Our goals are to inform, entertain and inspire our listeners.
This blog will be a part of the TEXAS POLITICS TODAY experience. We will eventually set up a website, www.texaspoliticstoday.net, but for now stay tuned to this blog. We will post information about coming shows. and -- once we master the technology -- podcasts of previous episodes. We also want this blog, and eventually the website, to contain links to other websites that are referenced on the show.

This is your radio show. Well, not really, but you know what we mean. We challenge you to challenge us. Suggest topics you want covered. Identify guests from whom you want to hear. Criticize us for what we do wrong, and praise us for what we do right. Most of all, INTERACT!
