Even Easier to Listen Online

We recently streamlined our streams, eliminating the need for special software. Just click a link above to start listening! If you do have a favorite app, you'll find us more places than ever - in the NPR App, the iHeart Radio app, the Radio Kansas Mobile App page, TuneIn app, etc. Voice Assistants like Alexa and "Hey, Google" now work better, even if they do sometimes think that when you say "Radio Kansas" you mean "radio, Kansas," and they start playing 70's progressive rock by the band! (Ask those assistants for "KHCC," and you may do better.)

You'll find updated instructions on our streaming page and updated links above. If you're away from your radio or in a basement with a poor signal, fire up an app and take a listen!

New Programming for Our 50th Year

Our first station was licensed July 14, 1972. This means we've started our 50th year of broadcasting! For most of that time we've been famous for bringing you the best radio shows from around the world.

You'll note we've restored programming previously lost from the American Public Media network (APM) and have some new favorites from the BBC. See our program grid for complete info!

Each program on our schedule has objective value and is beneficial for central Kansas. Some of the current options were prompted by changes at NPR as we explain here. We now present BBC World Service overnight until 6, and The World from Public Radio International both 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.! At 7 a.m. it's The Newsroom, then at 7:30, Business Daily and the Marketplace Morning Report. At 5 p.m. is Marketplace, right after Kansas News Service newscast material. This all makes more sense visually, so just check the grid online!

Get the Radio Kansas App!

You’ll notice that our website doesn’t have any pop-ups asking you to approve “cookies” or other tracking software. That’s not our style. We invite you to use all of our services – on air and online – for free and in private, and then trust on the honor system that you will take part as a contributor. This is one reason we don’t have an app that you have to install after accepting a bunch of terms and conditions. Our mobile "app" is simply the mobile-formatted web page at www.radiokansas.com/app It can’t track you or save or steal your information in any way. Rather than having to download updates, you’ll just find that the page is more capable as time goes on. These updates are delivered each time you refresh the page.

To “install” the app as a button on your device: On Apple Devices, visit the page in the built-in Safari Browser. Click the “Share” button at the bottom of the browser, then choose “Add To Home Screen.” Our streams and other information are now no more than two clicks away! On Android devices, visit with Chrome, then click the three dots in the upper right and choose “Add To Home Screen.” If you’ll go to that bit of trouble, we can save the $6000 we’ve been quoted to have someone build software for the app store. We’ll keep those dollars invested in the radio you use each day.
