It is owned by the Santa Fe Community College and managed by the 501(c)(3) non-profit Northern New Mexico Radio Foundation.[1][2]

The station features a wide variety of locally-produced music, news and talk shows, as well as programming from the BBC World Service, Democracy Now!, and other national programs. KSFR's news team won the Associated Press' "New Mexico Station of the Year" award in 2004, 2005, and 2006.
