Since February 2007, Employee & Family Resources (EFR) has been privileged to share KFMG 99.1 with the greater Des Moines community. With thoughtful consideration, the EFR Board of Directors has determined that KFMG's operations will cease at noon on January 15, 2010.
We are grateful for the support the Des Moines community has shown KFMG. The decision to cease operations will allow EFR to channel its focus and resources to our mission-based human services and core programs that include substance abuse prevention, community support services, substance abuse assessment services, employee assistance services and training/coaching.
In the meantime, EFR's Board of Directors and staff leadership will continue to explore alternative non-profit entities to assume the station's FCC license. We are hopeful for the best possible outcome.
On behalf of EFR and KFMG, we would like to thank the individuals who have devoted time and talents to the station.

Hello old friend! KFMG returns to the airwaves as a low power community station designed especially to super serve the city of Des Moines and its vibrant downtown community.
KFMG is a not for profit station designed to deliver huge benefits to the PEOPLE of Des Moines.
We are not out of town owner-operators who take our hard earned money out of town. We are local residents totally invested in DES MOINES and because this is our home, we're not going away.
The MUSIC
KFMGs hallmark music format is called ADULT ALTERNATIVE or PROGRESSIVE radio. You'll hear adult rock, blues, jazz, acoustic and world beat music with lots of surprises along the way.
Des Moines, Iowa has a rich heritage of progressive radio that rivals cities like San Francisco, Chicago and Boulder.
In fact, KFMG's ratings frequently showed us as the NUMBER ONE adult alternative station in the UNITED STATES.
HERITAGE
Many Des Moines adults grew up with great music. In the 1960s Ron Sorenson pioneered one of the Midwest's first progressive stations, KFMG.
Sorenson returned with KBLE in the late '70s and '80s and then reprised KFMG in the '90s.
Now Sorenson has teamed up with the man who probably knows Des Moines better than anyone, former mayor and jazz radio host, Preston Daniels.
