Is Kansas City Internet Radio Alive ?

It’s 3 am Kansas City time, while your eyes are still blurry you creep over to your computer, open your favorite search engine, and enter Kansas City Cafe.

Then there it is all of a sudden, Staring you on your screen it Kansas City Cafe Internet Radio.

Then you Look again, and you Find that Not only are they in your own back yard

(or in your old neighborhood as Larry Garrett would say)

But they are among the newest breed in the internet radio scene.

Even towns in the area are getting on the band wagon, Lees Summit is hosting this groups “launch Party”.

Long gone are the old days of someone saying “Hey I’m going to stream my music for my buddies to listen to”

Now internet radio is now entering the domain of experienced broadcasters looking to promote music that isn’t along the “party line” of their conglomerate owned, "this station sounds like the rest of the world station".

While commercial radio was fast asleep,

Music choices are again being made by Local program directors and focusing on local singers, songwriters, musicians, and groups.

Isn’t it refreshing for the talents of local people are again able to take center stage.

The Creators of the unique station have found the ultimate concept in local focus radio.

While the conglomerates spend countless millions on billboards, TV ads and focus groups,

this group of pioneers has found what can easily be described as the last hope for both radio in general and internet radio specifically.

Even with David Cook (also a local boy does good) being from the “burbs” of This station.

Their focus is not on the American Idol winner,

but on those consummate local legends that you hear playing around town and ask yourself why they aren’t on the radio.

Well now they are.

Tune in to this delight, and see for yourself.
