KIRA’s mission is to actively support, educate, and inspire listeners through free-form broadcasting, with programming that reflects the nuances of Omaha and its surrounding communities.

KIRA is a developing noncommercial organization working to launch something the Omaha community doesn’t currently have: a truly local, independent, community-powered radio station. Our goal is to build a broadcast service that elevates local voices on the air — one that amplifies local culture, local journalism, local music, and the real conversations happening in Omaha.

This station will:

• Broadcast local news, music, arts and public affairs programming free of charge

• Showcase regional musicians, creators, DJs and personalities

• Provide broadcast training and airtime for community members

• Partner with schools, nonprofits, businesses and civic organizations

• Serve as a platform for diverse voices
