Several folks have walked their land with an antenna and sited their houses according to where they can get the best KAXE signal, and others who have left the listening area have moved back to where they could hear KAXE again. Many lake visitors rely on KAXE for family entertainment. Its one reason they come back to visit again. Volunteers often drive 50 miles or more to do an airshift. KAXE focuses on interaction with listeners.
Real people host our programs and they treat listeners with respect.
We call ourselves authentic local radio because KAXE is not a format. We share ideas and opinions about land use, how to deal with development, hunting and fishing, how to create a thriving business climate, how to raise healthy children. In this election year KAXE invited every candidate for state office in its listening region to share statements regarding their candidacy with listeners without charge. KAXE is a full member of National Public Radio, the National Federation of Community Broadcasters, and the American Indian Radio on Satellite Network. KAXE also provides programs from Public Radio International to its rural listeners.
