Host organizations include the Northcoast Environmental Center, Humboldt Baykeeper, Environmental Protection Information Center, Friends of the Arcata Marsh, and Friends of the Eel River. The EcoNews Report has aired on KHSU for over 35 years – the longest running public affairs show on the station, and is engineered by superb volunteer Fred McLaughlin.
