Feb. 7—Tacoma-based jazz and blues radio station KNKX is getting $225,000 to bolster its jazz music programming.

The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation announced Jan. 28 that it's providing $1.3 million to five radio stations across the nation to create a partnership in the form of a Jazz Media Lab.

"Each of these stations has been committed to jazz a long time and is very active in their local communities with jazz artists and education," said KNKX general manger Joey Cohn.

The money will support efforts already underway at KNKX, including live studio sessions, the School of Jazz program and other new content. The station's studio sessions have garnered 29 million views on their website and on YouTube.
