Why support KFAI? We’re community-powered and funded, and that means we can’t do the work without YOU!
KFAI’s community-powered 24/7/365 broadcast is known for its eclectic entertainment and public affairs programming that features 89 programs in nine languages, with 84 programs produced locally and in-house. People of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and many intersectional identities lead more than 50% of the programs on the broadcast schedule, making KFAI one of Minnesota’s most culturally, generationally, and socio-economically diverse broadcast media outlets.
KFAI’s immediate neighborhood is home to the largest Somali community in the United States and Minnesota’s most culturally diverse neighborhood: Cedar-Riverside/West Bank. Beyond the broadcast, KFAI supports community building through developing, hosting, presenting, and sponsoring arts, entertainment, and cultural events across the Twin Cities.
Languages spoken on-air at KFAI include Amharic, English, Eritrean, Filipino, French, Oromo, Spanish, Somali, and Vietnamese. East African immigrant communities are represented by Somali Link Radio, Eritrean Community Radio, SNIT: Eritreans in Minnesota, Voices of Ethiopia, Voice of Oromiyaa, and MaliStar. Other weekly programming directed by and to underserved immigrant cultures includes Vietnam MN Radio and Filipino-American News, with new Hmong programming on the horizon.
KFAI is home to Fresh Fruit, the longest-running LGBTQIA+ radio program in the Nation.
News, community, and public affairs programs include Beats Rhymes and Democracy, Health Notes with Kinshasha Kambui, No Name in the Street with DA Bullock, Northern Sun News, Disability and Progress, and more.
