KCUR leaders are pleased to announce that the University of Missouri-Kansas City plans to transition ownership of KCUR and Classical KC to a community-led nonprofit organization.
UMKC and the University of Missouri System Board of Curators expressed support last week. Curators also supported a similar move for St. Louis Public Radio, which will take place through a similar but separate process.
“We’re excited to start this new chapter in our longstanding relationship with the University of Missouri system,” said KCUR General Manager Sarah Morris. “Our association with UMKC has made it possible for us to provide Kansas City audiences with essential news and entertainment programs for decades. But as our industry evolves ever more quickly, this bold move allows us the flexibility to adapt in real time.”
