Austin Community Radio
 Austin Community Radio, Inc. operating as KAZI 88.7 is 25 years old - the oldest community station serving Austin and surrounding communities. The station is a listener-supported, non-commercial community radio station, staffed almost entirely by volunteers who work together out of a sense of commitment and concern for our community. The station maintains a family atmosphere with a volunteer staff that loves what they do, which keeps the listening audiences always wanting more.
A strong force in the Austin Community, KAZI is a unique mix of RnB, Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Reggae, Zydeco, Talk, Community Information, Independent News and more. KAZI takes pride in supporting and promoting local artists as well as national artists on small independent labels.
KAZI was the dream of Dr. John Warfield, professor of African-American Studies at the University of Texas. His vision was to create a noncommercial station that served the needs of the African-American community. With generous funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and loaned tower space from LBJ-S Broadcasting, KAZI began transmitting on August 29, 1982. Although KAZI was launched with the aid of public funding, it currently survives entirely on donations from listeners and support from commercial sponsors. The station also receives monies from the City of Austin for the broadcast of the weekly City Council meeting. |
