A MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER PERRY DAMONE
Dear KidStar family,
In August of 2010 I met an incredible gentleman with an extraordinary vision by the name of Jeff Spenard. Jeff is the President of World Talk Radio LLC / VoiceAmerica. We sat down to discuss a new channel that Voice America was thinking of launching; VoiceAmerica Kids. This was the beginning of a collaborative effort between World Talk Radio/ Voice America and KDSTR Radio Corp. The KidStar team consulted with Jeff Spenard and his unbelievably talented staff for the past twenty four months to create; maintain and launch the VAK network with a short term goal of fifty Voice America Kids network shows to expand to one hundred shows in the next five years. Asof this writing, we are on our way to fifty shows with currently 32 all kid run shows covering topics from sports, to politics, to school issues, to fashion, travel and even a show that is hosted by two twelve year olds called “Life At Twelve; in fact we are already in the process of adding several more shows to the line up in the next couple of months MORE . . . .
The Kidstar Story
KDSTR CORPORATION/KIDSTAR RADIO NETWORK
My name is Perry Damone, Founder of KDSTR Radio Corporation, also known as KidStar.
KidStar is a federally certified non profit organization that has tasked itself with advancing not only the education of but also the building of character and helping to instill a solid value system for our youth of today.
As a radio broadcaster for over thirty-five years, I wanted to give back to the community and to our children by using all that I have learned from that wonderful experience, so in 1987 the KidStar Program was founded.
I had the wonderful opportunity to speak to a group of sixth grade kids at Shumway Elementary School, in Chandler Arizona, and that is where I met music teacher Linda Minton. The level of enthusiasm that the kids displayed in regards to radio brought an idea to the table…why not put a full broadcast station in the school. Not a toy, but a full-fledged broadcast facility that would be run solely by children, I mean everything, Program Directors, Music Directors, Traffic, Weather, Sports, Production, Special Features Directors, trained by KidStar Radio and run by sixth graders.
