Overview
KMNR is a non-commercial, educational, FM-stereo broadcast station licensed to the Board of Curators of the University of Missouri. However, KMNR is fully funded and operated by students at the University of Missouri-Rolla.
KMNR strives to provide educational, entertaining, and informative radio programs as a public service to the students, faculty, and administration of the University of Missouri-Rolla and for the people of Phelps and Texas Counties.
Programming
KMNR is a "free-format" station. This means the on-air DJ chooses all program content AND NO-ONE ELSE! The only exceptions are standard educational productions which KMNR airs to serve the public interest.
Personnel
KMNR is staffed entirely by students. Programming is provided by sixty to seventy volunteer DJs. Station administration is performed by a seven-member executive board that is elected once per year from the body of DJs.
