 Thank you, Davis Media Access, for helping us to promote equity and love in our community and beyond. Happy 30th anniversary, Davis Media Access! This is Leslie Crenna. I'm with Cool Davis. My experience with DMA has been partly professional and partly personal. My daughter went to summer camp and I have been working with DMA and they've been supporting us up here at Cool Davis and we are so proud and happy to be a partner with DMA. Happy birthday! Hi, I'm Senator Bill Dodd. For decades, Davis Media Access has helped enrich and support the community, providing a non-profit alternative to commercial media and giving a platform for local voices, opinions, and creative expression. It's been my pleasure to work with Davis Media Access to support public awareness of important state programs, benefits, and issues. I wish a very happy 30th birthday to Davis Media Access, best wishes for the next 30 years and beyond. In 1988, a group of forward-thinking people in Davis, California, decided to form an organization that would provide multiple layers of community benefit, a non-profit that helps other non-profits, schools, local government, and ordinary citizens share information, build skills, and foster transparency. That was Davis Community Television, which gave rise to KDRT in 2004, and by 2007 we'd become known as Davis Media Access. 30 years later, Davis Media Access, or DMA, is a community anchor institution, a trusted partner, and a place where people come to connect. My name is Madeline Hamaguchi, and thanks to Davis Media Access, I've made some really wonderful new friends, I feel much more connected to the Davis community where I've grown up since I was two, and I've learned how to transfer my skills from the theater industry to the television industry. So thank you, Davis Media Access, and happy 30th birthday. Happy birthday to Davis Media Access. Thank you for 30 years of connecting our community, bringing us together, and giving us a place where our voices matter. Happy birthday, Davis Media Access. Happy happy birthday, oh my gosh. So I just want to say that I'm so grateful for Davis Media Access and KDRT changed my life. I'm so thrilled for the service that you provide our community. There's such fantastic people at Davis Media Access and KDRT, and I'm always so grateful and thankful to each and every one of you. Hi, this is Congressman John Garamendi with a big happy birthday, and congratulations to Davis Media Access. If you want to know what's going on in the community, you watch Davis Media Access. They'll tell you what it is. Congratulations, happy birthday. Access is the foundation on which DMA was built. Technology has undergone massive changes in 30 years. Most of us now have complicated gadgets in our pockets, and our TV viewing habits have changed significantly. And yet, DMA's programs and services are generally utilized at capacity or beyond, and our small staff is challenged to keep up with community requests for assistance and expertise. What this says is that in divisive times, the human side of the technology equation, our need to connect and to learn is paramount. Davis Media Access, happy 30th birthday. Not only have you given me technical training and video production and fueled my passion for film, but you have also fostered such an incredible, creative and warm community in Davis. So I look forward to volunteering in the next 30 years and counting. Hi, I'm Doug Diep. I'm a DJ at KDRT Radio and a volunteer at Davis Media Access. The reason that I am here doing these things is I am an absolute nut for community radio and community media. Davis Media Access turns 30 years old this year. Happy anniversary, Davis Media Access. I wish Davis Media Access a very happy 30th anniversary. I had an amazing experience working with DMA as a videographer and production specialist during my brief stay in Davis City. I wish you best of luck for your future endeavors and thank you so much for everything. Hello, I'm Laura Grindstaff and I sit on DMA's board of directors. I'm part of DMA mostly because I believe deeply in its core mission of providing a local alternative to commercial media. But as a board member, one of the favorite things I get to do is support creative work by young people. For example, every year students at DaVinci High produce podcasts about World War II and I help evaluate the podcast and recommend selections for airing on KDRT. This collaboration with the Davis schools is just one of the many ways that DMA supports our community. Thank you DMA and happy 30th birthday. DMA works with unemployed people to help them develop media and technological literacy. We mentor college graduates and young adults who struggle to find meaningful work. We work with K through 12 schools, with international students and visiting scholars, with disabled individuals, elected officials, candidates and other nonprofits, local businesses and many others. And we recorded thousands of hours of programming from conferences to school based performances and studio talk shows to protest marches. This is Sheila Allen sending my thanks to Davis Media Access for your many years supporting Davis. I appreciated participating in your election coverage before and after elections. And as director of YOLA Healthy Aging Alliance, we thank you for your support for our candidate forums that have received over 400 views. I would like to wish Davis Media Access a very happy 30th birthday. Hi, I'm former Mayor Dan Wolk having been an avid viewer of Davis Community Television since its inception. I heartily wish DMA a happy 30th birthday. Congratulations. Hello, I'm Leah Rosenberg and I'm a community volunteer serving on several boards here in Davis. One of the boards or activities that I'm very proud of is helping with election night coverage here with Davis Media Access, our own local TV station. And to you, Davis Media Access, I wish you a happy birthday 30th. Davis Media Access has given me an awesome opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a video production environment. And it's also given me the tools and resources to go out and make my own work. I really appreciate Davis Media Access. I wish them a happy birthday and I wish for them to have another 30 years of awesome work. Increasingly, the national media scene is driving home the importance of local non-commercial independent media. A handful of large corporations controls nearly all of the media in this country. The result is a homogenous perspective that sacrifices localism. Contrast this with what happens all year long at Davis Media Access. From video and film work to community coverage to local radio, local content matters. KDRT LP, 95.7 FM, boasts programmers of all ages playing what they want. The station highlights local voices, nonprofits and events, and helps local musicians develop an audience. KDRT's volunteers participate widely in this community. From annual events such as the Street Food Rodeo and Davis Music Festival, to ongoing commitments like Thursday Live at Davis Odd Fellows, and Second Friday Art About at Armadillo Music. DMA's work is central to an informed, connected community. And KDRT is a big part of this. We're thrilled to be celebrating 30 years of service to our community. We're grateful to the city of Davis and the Davis Joint Unified School District for our long term partnerships, and to our many volunteers and supporters for helping to create and sustain this community organization. Hi, I'm Don. And I'm Sharon. And I enjoy KDRT for the local voices and community perspectives. And I love listening to the local bands, the DJs, and the radio shows like Live Tracks, The Golden Road, and the Electric Compost Teap. Happy birthday, DMA. Gary Chu here, and if you know anything about Davis, California at all, you know it's a great place to be. And one of the reasons it is is because of the Community Media Center. It's called Davis Media Access. DMA has KDRT, a radio station where I play music and volunteer some of my time in programming skills. I'm also on the DMA board, and I also try to provide several years of experience in the broadcasting for DMA. And that includes the non-commercial and commercial radio and television. But I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to say, hey, it's DMA's 30th anniversary. Get with it. Hey, Davis Media Access, happy 30 years from the White House. This is Brises Egovia, friends, 24 White House correspondent. And I was an intern there in 2005 when it was called DCTV. So if you are an intern now, make the most of it because dreams come true. And at Davis Media Access, keep up the good work. Hi, I'm Bill Buchanan. I host Davisville on KDRT. I get to talk to all sorts of interesting people about things they're doing in Davis. And sometimes it's the stories of their lives. Sometimes we get some pretty good radio out of that. I know I sure enjoy doing it, and I couldn't do it without KDRT and Davis Media Access. Happy 30th anniversary, DMA. Hi, my name is Jess, and I'm a KDRT volunteer. What do I love about Davis Media Access? I love the media, more specifically the music.
