Joining KPOV has given Jim the opportunity to share his love of music, meet some of the finest people he knows, and now to give back to this great community resource, KPOV. Jim is also the host of Guitar Showcase on KPOV.
Preet Chopra
Preet has been listening to radio since grade school (when he would make mix tapes with his sister) and began supporting community radio in the late 90’s after discovering KCRW Santa Monica. He has enjoyed KPOV programming and events since moving to Bend in 2009 with his (then) young family. He has been volunteering at KPOV since 2022 and hosts folkdelica. He feels a strong commitment to community radio and super optimistic about KPOV’s modernization. Preet joined the board after some conversations about diversity and contributing a broad vision of inclusivity that he feels is so important to KPOV as a community voice.
