38 years! In addition to KVON, Napans have also enjoyed the music on 99.3 The Vi
(KVYN) for over 30 years! The Vine now plays a mix of today's pop, with country
crossover and some Classic Rock thrown in. You may know it better as "Sauvignon
Rock."
Both stations are committed to serving Napa Valley and donate much of their airtime
supporting local non-profit organizations. 99.3 The Vine and 1440 KVON have long
supported Cope Family Center. Over the years, the stations have highlighted annua
events such as Kids' Day, the Blue Ribbon Luncheon and the ever-popular Napa Ri
Rock & Stroll. As a community radio station, they believe "it's not only a priviledge, b
vital to bring awareness to the important services Cope has provided for children an
families."
On behalf of Cope staff, board of directors, volunteers and clients, thank you to
KVON/KVYN for your continued support of child abuse prevention and family suppo
programs!
