KIRA, Independent Radio Arts
KIRA, Independent Radio Arts 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

KIRA, Independent Radio Arts is fiscally sponsored by Amplify Arts. Through fiscal sponsorship, artists, organizers, and cultural workers in the Omaha area can leverage some of the benefits of Amplify’s tax-exempt status to solicit tax-deductible donations.
KIRA, Independent Radio Arts is a local group of music and audio lovers and creators, and a noncommercial organization that seeks to build bridges in the community that foster growth through broadcasting, streaming, and live events. Transmitting from downtown Benson, they are committed to amplifying local voices, developing local talent, and sharing local stories that are too often left untold.
