History

KFRM was the brainchild of founder Arthur B. Church. Mr. Church was a prominent broadcaster and the president of Midland Broadcasting company, operators of KMBC radio station. He had founded Midland Broadcasting in 1927, and over the years built KMBC into arguably one of the finest examples of full service radio broadcasting stations in the . That full service programming would include countless live entertainment features, a fully staffed farm news department, complete with an 800 acre service farm, a multi-reporter local and regional news operation, home economics department, and comprehensive sports reporting. The station staff, including 30 full-time musicians and vocalists, would usually number between 115 and 130.
