The station was overseen by a nine-member board of directors. The KUVO staff was made up of 13 employees, 9 full-time and 4 part-time (see the organization chart in Exhibit 6). Unlike the staff of the early years, KUVO employees in 1996 had extensive experience in radio, public broadcasting, or nonprofit organizations. The collective experience and enthusiasm for both jazz and the organizational mission made the staff one of KUVO's most valuable assets.
