KCUR and Classical KC Sign Up to Participate

Interim General Manager, Sarah Morris offered the following statement to explain why KCUR and Classical KC decided to sign up to participate with Public Media For All:

“As an organization sitting in the geographic center of the country, we have long wrestled with how to best go about our DEI work and have made great progress in 2020. We have broad agreement that diversity is a strategic imperative for public media (and society) to thrive, but the real work is in our actions and our long-term commitment of resources to this work. KCUR and Classical KC are proud to be among the first stations to join Public Media for All.”

As the flagship NPR station in their region, KCUR-FM serves the greater Kansas City metro area with news, talk and music programming on air and online. In June 2020, they launched a new service, 91.9 Classical KC, so that Kansas City would once again have a full-time radio station devoted to the joy, the respite and the place of discovery that is classical music.

Public Media For All is thrilled to see stations of all sizes, markets and formats signing up to participate. It’s essential that our work reflect the full range of stations and services within our industry.
