| Board president Jim Walsh in younger days when he was still dreaming of community radio. Jim, like the rest of us, has aged a bit but his enthusiasm for this project, fortunately, has not! |

Stuart Lowry is the other longtime board member still with the project. Stuart and Jim hosted a kids radio show on various stations in the early 1990's. That experience led the duo to come up with the idea of applying for a community radio license.
------------------------------------- |
In 1999, their group, Kids First Inc, a not for profit 501C3 Indiana corporation, made its application to the FCC for the frequency in Boone County.
------------------------------------- |
On May 30, 2007, the FCC issued a Construction Permit to Kids First, Inc for a radio station at 91.9 FM licensed to the city of Zionsville.

THE WITT SOUND
You'll hear musical genres from A to Z. In an hour you might hear a cut from a soundtrack, an aria by Pavorati, electronica from Brian Eno, something from Joan Baez, fine pickin' by Flatt and Scruggs, a new track from Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, Hogeye Navvy or Cathy Morris, followed by blues from Otis Spann and something from John Lennon, or maybe Abba.
The possiblities are endless, of course, but most radio doesn't go there. We will, and all in the open air, which by the way is the name of our music mixes...
There will be programs for kids and teens. We'll do public affairs and news programs because we want to, not because we have to. We'll give you the microphone sometimes.
We predict that we will be unpredictable.

REMEMBER CITY RADIO?
Back in the 1990's, before we found a frequency to go after, we called the project "City Radio". You may recall seeing this logo on Tshirts, fundraising cannisters, and at various art festivals and community events. Perhaps you even came to one our meetings in the early "vision" days. Now that vision is about to become reality.
