The station plays classical music as well as giving local, state and national news updates. Also, campus has another radio station that has been on air for 15 years. KBYR is broadcasted from campus and can be heard at 91.5 FM as well as online. With a format dedicated to inspiration, KBYR serves the campus and Rexburg community with programming that runs 24/7.  “There isn’t anywhere you can get this format. It’s unique to BYU–Idaho. It has everything to do with inspirational music and anything that is relevant to the mission of the school. It is a safe station where you can listen to good music and not worry about what content may come on,” said station manager Jim Clark. With a wide mix of over 2,800 songs, devotionals and General Conference reports, this station offers, for some, an escape from stress and perspective.  “When I’m driving around I listen to it because it helps me calm down and keep focused on what is really important,” said freshmen Jeff Smith. KBYR can be listened to anywhere in the world through live Internet streaming offered at www.byui.edu/kbyr. The site also offers live devotionals each week as well as previous devotionals given from campus, inspirational quotes and musician profiles.  Through the Web site, students can submit a Public Service Announcement (PSA), which is a free way to promote activities.  “PSA’s are a huge opportunity for students to spread the word to the student body as well as the community. If you have an event your coordinating, submit a PSA online and we’ll put it on the air for you. Its as simple as that,” said senior Jess Cannon. Programming for the station is largely shaped and governed by a team of BYU–I students. “Its all about the students. We do everything we can do to fit the mission of the university through training the students and give them practical experience,” Clark said. Students can get involved with the radio station in a number of ways. The radio station has around 30 student employees and volunteers and is part of the communications department.   “A good way to get involved is through a radio practicum [class] and the Radio Reading Program,” Clark said.  Radio Reading Program is a volunteer program where students read and record newspaper articles so that the seeing impaired can hear the newspaper by listening to the radio. From this experience, students may have the opportunity to work for the radio station. “I have loved my experience here at the station. I’m applying for jobs across the country as a broadcaster and my experience here will be crucial in getting a job and career,” Cannon said.  Ben Wiscombe scroll staff   At any given moment, someone anywhere in the world can listen to the radio station that broadcasts from BYU-Idaho.  Located west of the Kimball building, the BYU–Idaho radio station FM 100 KBYI, has been broadcasting on the air for over 25 years, covering a large portion of South East Idaho.

It provides students many opportunities to serve.  For some that participated in this year’s Pow-Wow, it was a chance to give back to the program they were once a part of.   “I was a Scout once and with the amount of time and sacrifice that leaders and teachers put in when I was a Scout, I figured I would give back of by giving a few hours of my Saturday,” said senior Zach Turner.  Over 130 students volunteered to be merit badge counselors and spent their Saturday teaching the Boy Scouts. Many of the students saw this as an opportunity to serve as well as be a good example for the Scouts.  “These kids are really impressive.  If I want someone someday to be a good teacher or role model for my children, then I ought to be one myself,” said junior Scott Sorenson.  After three months of planning, Priscilla Hendricks, department secretary of continuing education, and Tom Anderson, activity coordinator, were both grateful for the         student support.   “We really appreciate them,” said Hendricks. “They are giving up a whole Saturday.  Some at a moments notice were willing to come and help and many student instructors put in a lot of time preparing before            the events.”  “Without the help of the students that volunteered it would be very hard to run an event of this size,”  said Anderson. For a few, attendance this event has become a family tradition. One father who attended the pow-wow felt that it was a valuable experience for his own sons.  “I came to this Pow-Wow as a boy for three years 25 or 26 years ago,” said Boyd Southwick of Sugar City. “I have two sons here at this event now.  I loved it back then and my sons love it now.”  At the Pow-Wow, Scouts were given the opportunity to work on one or two merit badges of their choice from 35 different merit badges, including 10 of the 12 badges required for the Eagle Scout Award. Even more than earning merit badges, activity leaders hoped that they made a lasting impression on   the Scouts.  “This isn’t just about merit badges. We aim to help them become leaders in the community. We have the opportunity to help these boys’ prepare for life,” Anderson said.In hosting this event on the BYU–Idaho campus, it is the hope of some that the Scouts had a memorable experience. “When they come here to BYU–Idaho we hope that they can feel something special, members and non-members alike,” Anderson said. “We hope that they will have a BYU–Idaho experience.” Ben Wiscombescroll staff  From towns across Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming, over 1200 Boy Scouts and their leaders traveled to BYU–Idaho to take part in the annual Merit Badge Pow-Wow on Saturday Nov. 7.  The Boy Scout Merit Badge Pow-Wow has taken place at BYU–Idaho for 30 years.
