When do you listen to KZFR?

Anytime I get the chance, including while driving or playing pool or relaxing or whenever I need a fix for some good music that you don't hear anywhere else.

How did you discover KZFR?

I found it while making salsa in 1991 and became a programmer then too.

Why do you listen to KZFR?

It's not commercial radio so the station is for the programming and not for the commercials.

What does community radio mean to you?

It provides people an alternative to the mind numbing mediocre radio programming everywhere else. Thank god for that.
