ABOUT US
We will bring you back
in time! Las Vegas the way it used to be!
WE ARE
A 501(C) 3 NON PROFIT CORPORATION
KiYQ is a
dedicated non-profit historical music radio station
that plays legendary great music performed by the
great artists that made Las Vegas, the entertainment
and gambling capital of the world. KiYQ also
preserves and maintains the history of how this
great town began. Our position is that the history
must be accurate and complete. Nevada laws made
gambling legal in 1931 and brought operators from
all parts of the country to the Silver State. What
was illegal in their home state was legal in Nevada.
They were smart, practical, and could run an
operation without computers. They knew what the
customers liked and offered a good gamble for the
money. They also were very charitable and helped the
community with donations and backing in every
manner. Las Vegas would not be “Las Vegas” without
them. Some of the new operators may want to examine
their modus operandi. It might put their operation
in the “black”. Our goal is to create an online
repository and timeline using the latest technology
available so that all citizens may enjoy, research
and learn about these operators and their legacies..
KiYQ-LP is an historical Las Vegas music and
information radio station governed by Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, Inc. Reading, Writing,
Arithmetic is the licensee and a non-profit IRS
approved organization, that operates this station.
Reading, Writing, Arithmetic is exactly what the
organization is about and promotes from the
donations it receives. It also funds the station,
KiYQ-LP.
Knowledge is power to each human
being on this planet. The more knowledge one has the
more things a person can accomplish. The wonders of
the world are before our eyes and it is imperative
that every young person obtain the fundamentals of
learning through the basics of reading, writing and
math skills.
RWA is the bridge to provide the
aids to learning, by providing books, booklets and
information free of charge to educators, teachers
and others who do not have the resources or access
to obtain them. In many areas of the United States,
cursive writing is becoming a thing of the past and
in many local schools it is not even being taught.
The reasons are many, however it just does not make
sense that cursive writing is not being taught in
many of our school systems. Texting is a good thing,
but the methods used in texting are slowly eroding
the proper uses of the English language. The
chopping and abbreviation of words is becoming habit
forming and leading to the elimination of the
English vocabulary. We hope you will share our
vision and join us in the goal of preserving and
promulgating Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, the
basics of learning.
We envision a world in
which the media is not a means to limit democratic
participation, but a way for communities, movements
and individuals to express themselves and struggle
for justice. We imagine a nationwide community radio
infrastructure made up of hundreds of independent,
locally-oriented stations, part of a global movement
to put media in the hands of the people.
