RADIO STATION Z107.7 TO HONOR 9-11 ATTACK VICTIMS

Radio station Z107.7-FM in Joshua Tree will dedicate September 11, 2002 to
the memory of the victims of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. General Manager
Cindy Daigneault announced that the one year anniversary of the attacks
will be, "A day of public service dedicated to the memory of the victims".

On September 11, the popular radio station will play no commercials.
Instead, in the times where commercials would normally be heard, area human
and health service charities will be given the time to inform the public
about their services.

In addition, the music heard on the station will feature Patriotic themed
songs and music designed to inspire and uplift by various contemporary
artists. In addition, the station will air messages of support from area
leaders and elected officials.

The decision to run no commercials was not an easy one, Daigneault said, "
Z107-7 wanted to do something that would show our deep feelings for the
victims and their survivors while at the same time honoring and supporting
our military forces fighting the evil forces of terrorism around the world.
By donating all of our commercial time to local charities on the
anniversary of the attacks, we felt we could show that respect as well as
our deep commitment to the Morongo Basin communities."

Z107-7 is the only locally owned, operated and originated Radio station in the Morongo Basin. Since they went on the air in 1989, they have garnered top national recognition for News, Community service, and programming excellence.
