About KKFI

Rooted in Community

Started in 1988, KKFI has been the Kansas City area’s independent, noncommercial community radio station for over 3 decades now. The KKFI studios have been in 4 different locations in that time, all in the Westport area.

KKFI is committed to diversity in programming and discourse and seeks to create a climate of mutual respect and collaboration among volunteers and staff.

Mission Statement

Diversity Statement

KKFI is committed to ensuring that its workforce and community advisory council reflect the diversity found in the communities it serves. KKFI believes that diversity considerations extend beyond race and gender. The spectrum of diversity also includes color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, age, disability, culture, education, military service and socio-economic status.

KKFI strives to create and foster a supportive environment in which all individuals can be successful and reach their full potential within the organization. We make if clear in our board application and active member applications.

KKFI is an equal opportunity employer and will attempt to recruit a diverse work force and explicitly forbid discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, military service and marital status.

Commitment to Free Speech

Opinions expressed by our volunteers on their personal media sites are solely their own and do not express the views or opinions of KKFI. The content of those sites has not been reviewed or approved by KKFI and the author is solely responsible for its content.

As a community radio station, KKFI reflects the diversity of our community. As such, there are many opportunities to disagree with each other. KKFI is fundamentally committed to the principle that a completely free and open discussion of ideas shall not be suppressed. We endorse the oft-quoted principle from Evelyn Beatrice Hall, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Coverage Area

We are fortunate to have a license to operate a 100,000-watt transmitter, the most powerful allowed by FCC regulations.
