One of the interesting features that we have here at KFMG is A WORD WITH PATTY DANIELS.

Patty defines an interesting word, talks about its history or derivation, and uses it in a sentence. Entertaining AND informative!

Listen for the day's Word every Monday and Friday, around 10 minutes or so before the noon hour.

World Beat indeed. His show is fresh. Totally unique music, totally informed host, totally cool World Beat Radio Live from Des Moines.

Gary Johansen joins us as he takes us on a trip around the globe for the best in World Beat every Monday and Friday from 2 - 3 p.m. CT on BEAT OF THE WORLD.

Sounds from the Carribean, Central and South America, Africa, the Middle East, India, and Asia to you on KFMG 99.1 FM and streaming that same globe at KFMG991.org!

If you have ever been into Flying Mango, you know that they not only serve the best Caribbean BBQ in the world, they serve up some great music. Many Des Moiniacs first heard of incredible new artists like Eric Lindell, Sharon Little, Hamilton Loomis, Jonah Smith, Jon Justice and others at their appearances at Flying Mango.

The genius behind the music and the food is Mike, and now, every Friday at noon, Mike steps out of the smoker, grabs his favorite new CDs, and takes over KFMG for two hours of great music on MANGO MUSIC.

Some people say that as a radio personality, Mike should not quit his day job. Still, as long as he brings the sandwiches for the rest of us we won't deny the music. Be like Mike. Every Friday at noon Central.

Gary kicks off every weekend on KFMG with The Gary Monte Radio Problem on Friday night from 7 - 10 p.m.

Rock, Blues, and Jazz are all in the mix as Gary hits the studio and free-forms his selections to match the mood of the city. Sometimes down and dirty, sometimes up and rockin', always eclectic.

And yes, you can give Gary your feedback and song requests by going to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KFMG99.1. Be sure to click on the page's "Like" button, if you haven't already!

GREEN CITY airs each Friday from 9-9:30 a.m. Central, hosted by Peter Sherinian. The show explores the actions necessary to help create a “sustainable city.”

FINAL FRIDAY airs on the last Friday of each month. Hosted by Mike Wenger from Employee & Family Resources, the program spotlights drug use and abuse, and other problems faced by young people and families. From 10-10:30 a.m.

Join Brian Holtz for a little irreverence and lots of great music. It's live every weeknight, four great hours, starting at 10 p.m Central.

Friendly, conversational and doing real live radio. Really.

And Brian will take your requests! Go to our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KFMG99.1 and tell Brian what you would like to hear... he might even play it! Be sure to click on the page's "Like" button, if you haven't already!

Ron Sorenson hosts the "5:01 Blues" segment every weekday at... 5:01 p.m.!
Ron spins two Blues tracks and occasionally will throw in a bonus tune, as well...

So get your dose of the Blues on KFMG every weekday at 5:01!

One of our most popular features. Yeah, it's poetry, but this isn't about Bambi in the meadow by a babbling brook ... it's totally up in your grill. Confrontational, emotional, powerful, and boy, does it ever make you think. This is GREAT stuff.

Take five and get a dose of Spoken Word every day at 3 a.m., 8 a.m., 3 p.m., and 9 p.m. CT on KFMG 99.1 FM and www.kfmg991.org.

A note to KFMG listeners and supporters:

It would appear that the national economic troubles have finally caught up with KFMG. Our results from this year’s Fall Pledge Drive were significantly lower than either of the past two years. Since we know we have more listeners, we can only assume that the difficult economy is a major factor.

So we’re going to continue our Fall Pledge Drive (in a somewhat more low-key manner) for the foreseeable future. We’ve adjusted some of the contribution levels for the premiums provided to KFMG by our supporters in the business and non-profit communities—there are some real “bargains” there, especially considering that all of the money contributed directly supports Your Community Voice – KFMG 99.1 FM.

You may contribute via the link to Red Truck Tickets, on this page. They are donating their services, so all of your contribution will go to KFMG. You may also send your contribution directly to KFMG at:

KFMG
PO Box 41143
Des Moines, IA 50311

Or you may give us a call at the radio station at 515-244-4145 (leave a message with a good time for us to call you back, if you reach voice mail instead of a living human being).

If you make a donation via the website please send a separate email through the “contact us” link on the website with your premium request, if you wish to have a premium. If you are mailing us your contribution, please also include your premium selection (if any) with your donation.

We thank you VERY MUCH for your support of KFMG. We know that things are tough out there, and we appreciate anything you are able to share to help support Your Community Voice - 99.1 KFMG-LP.
