KKRN Community Radio is a locally operated non-commercial educational radio station. The FCC license for KKRN is owned by Acorn Community Enterprises, a non-profit corporation located in Round Mountain, CA which exists to support the many little communities in the foothills east of Redding, CA.
Members of the communities in our listening area are the volunteers that put and keep KKRN on the air. The volunteers work together on various committees to do the work of the station. We have created our own governance documents that define the governing bodies for KKRN and the roles and responsibilities of each committee, the volunteer job descriptions, our principles of operation, and the way we make decisions about KKRN.
The governing bodies are: The KKRN Radio Council, the KKRN Program Committee and The Acorn Community Enterprises Board of Directors which existed for about ten years before the idea of a local community radio station had come along. The documents are The KKRN Organizational Manual and the Programmers Handbook.

- Ellen Sugg, Station Management/Acorn Board Representative
