KAZI 88.7FM The Voice of Austin The oldest community station in Austin, Texas! Listen LIVE on the radio, TuneIn app or www.kazifm.org Austin Community Radio, Inc.
(253)

operating as KAZI 88.7 is the oldest community station in Austin. The station is a listener-supported, non-commercial community radio station, staffed almost entirely by volunteers who work together out of a sense of commitment and concern for our community. KAZI was the dream of the late Dr. John Warfield, professor of African-American Studies at the University of Texas. His vision was to create a noncommercial station that served the needs of the African-American community. With generous funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and loaned tower space from LBJ-S Broadcasting, KAZI began transmitting on August 29, 1982. Although KAZI was launched with the aid of public funding, it currently survives entirely on donations from listeners and support from commercial sponsors. The station also receives monies from the City of Austin for the broadcast of the weekly City Council meeting. KAZI remains a strong force in the Austin Community with its unique mix of R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Reggae, Zydeco, Talk, Community Information, Independent News and more… KAZI also takes pride in supporting and promoting local artists as well as national artists on small independent labels. Since 1982, KAZI has been serving Austin and the surrounding communities. The station maintains a family atmosphere with a volunteer staff that loves what they do, which keeps the listening audiences always wanting more.

🏈 Austin Athlete of the Week: Josiah Bowens

When his team needed someone to step up, Josiah Bowens answered in a big way. The East View running back exploded for 171 rushing yards on just seven carries, breaking loose for touchdowns of 79 and 74 yards in the Patriots’ thrilling 40–37 victory over Vista Ridge on October 15.

With East View’s leading rusher limited, Bowens made the most of his opportunity, averaging more than 24 yards per carry and helping deliver a crucial district win. Speed, preparation and the confidence to rise to the moment. Salute to Josiah Bowens, our Austin Athlete of the Week!

We’ve been having all types of cool folks show up this week!

We had the legendary Tisha Campbell pull up to the station since she has some shows in Austin today and tomorrow. Make sure to pull up!

We also had local staples like Dr. Jeremy George, head of the Huston-Tillotson jazz band as well as Alexandria Anderson, a neighborhood activist and former UT sprinter who’s running for City Council in District 1. Also shout out to the Lone Star Circle of Care who are having their Big Pink Benefit this morning!
