## Radio shows (KMF +)

The radio station's shows are more focused towards entertaining the listener and focus less on serious broadcasting. The radio station hosts its own giveaways, but also rebroadcasts important lotteries on KMF (usually happens when you can win more than 500,000Ap).

KMF+ used to only have a host between 5:00 and 23:00, but that changed in 2017 alongside the introduction of an overnight show, being made up out of mostly uninterrupted music.

### April Fools

Since 2015 KMF + always does something unusual for April Fools. For example, in 2019 all of the station's jingles were changed to "KMF -" (KMF Plus -> KMF Minus). The station's RDS changed to "KMF -", changing to "KMF +" every 10 seconds, then going back to "KMF -". On DAB+, the station changed its logo to a mirrored version of its normal logo. The presenteres were advised to say "KMF -" instead of "KMF +" if they were to speak, and a special show focusing on fooling people was running during prime-time broadcasting (7:00-9:00, 15:00-18:00).

KMF and KMF # don't change their schedule at all during April Fools.
