The Mission:
Radio KDNA will direct its efforts as a minority public
radio station in response to the cultural and informational isolation
of Hispanic/Latino and other disadvantaged communities. Radio KDNA will
produce quality radio programming to help such communities overcome barriers
of literacy, language, discrimination, poverty, and illness. In this way,
KDNA will empower these communities to more fully participate in our multiethnic
society.
