KFMG

Under the call sign KFMG-LP, this community radio station broadcasts on the FM frequency 98.9 FM for the American city of Des Moines in Iowa and its suburbs. The low-power station is operated by The Des Moines Community Radio Foundation, whose studios are located at the Mainframe Studios at the corner of 9th and Keo Streets. The General Manager is Ron Sorenson, who previously managed the station’s predecessor from 1992 to 1996.

The programming is funded through donations and allocations from local institutions such as the Polk County Board of Supervisors. In addition to spoken-word contributions and shows such as The Kitchen Insider with Chef George Formaro and Jim Duncan or the poetry series One Word After Another, music formats shape the station’s profile. These include special programs such as Pyrate Steve’s Sound Journeys with elements of soul, blues and jazz, as well as Ron Sorenson’s weekday format The 5:01 Blues.
