See where Twin Cities community radio lives! Founded in 1978, KFAI is a registered 501(c)(3) noncommercial educational (NCE) community radio station. Our volunteer-powered broadcast is a destination for local news and information, arts and culture, and Twin Cities entertainment, serving listeners of diverse racial, social, and economic backgrounds.
Located in the Cedar-Riverside/West Bank neighborhood — home to the largest Somali population in the United States and one of Minnesota’s most culturally diverse communities — KFAI plays a vital role in reflecting and connecting local voices. Beyond the airwaves, we strengthen community ties through partnerships and events that celebrate arts, music, and cultural heritage across the Twin Cities.
KFAI is also home to Fresh Fruit, the nation’s longest-running LGBTQIA+ radio program.
