Together We Are Powerful

KZFR is here for the community & honestly we need the community to be there for us.

There is no grassroots, local, home grown, people powered community radio without community support.

Your pledges during our Fall Pledge Drive will insure KZFR is here for you. Your pledges will allow us to repair or replace some very important but aging equipment like the Operations Board, microphones & the HVAC unit. After 32 years of broadcasting, these capital improvements will ensure community radio will continue to broadcast strong for everyone in the north state & beyond for another 32 years.
