Since its inception in 2005, CMFKC has featured over 100 bands and attracted thousands of people to Kansas City, a thriving music community.

Designed to showcase the best in Kansas City’s music, arts and dance scene, CMF provides opportunities for community members of all ages to support its local artists and celebrate Kansas City’s cultural diversity.

Secure the KKFI Tower Easement

$20,000 CHALLENGE HAS BEEN MATCHED!

Thank you to Patrick & Barbara Patterson, Jeff Humfeld, Sal Wells and one very generous anonymous donor for putting forth this challenge.

What is the Issue?

While we are fortunate to own our broadcast tower, we do not own the land on which it sits.  For 33 years, we have been leasing the property in Independence, MO, but it was recently sold, and the new owner is planning to resell it in early 2022.  In radio, signal reliability is critical. We must have permanent access to the tower when repairs and updates are needed.   We have explored all options and purchasing a long-term property easement is the best because it will provide unlimited access, and eliminate the $21,468 in annual rent we currently pay, which will allow us to invest in more local programming.
