Well if you’re KKFI 90.1 fm Community Radio with absolutely NO corporate funding and exist by the grace of  funds tossed your way by the people who LISTEN to your 100,000 watts, then you auction off gracious local bands for live entertainment, guest dj spots, and all sorts of curious items your listeners, independent musicians and volunteers donate. Welcome to the world of free enterprise without corporate handouts, wall street bs, bank loans or government tax dollars. Now as an ardent listener of KKFI’s music, news, theatre, and talk shows this is how I’m doing my small part to support Community Radio as it OUGHT to be Heard. So, if you’re in the KC metro area and wanting a live band for entertainment, heads up and ears open. If you’re a dj wanna be, then pay attention–cause you don’t have to be local to play this guest dj gig. Oh no. People from as distant as east coast Connecticut have booked air time on KKFI-and served up some great tunes. If you’re just addicted to shopping then the online auction might feed your vice just right.
