KFRM (550 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Salina, Kansas, United States. It is owned by Taylor Communications, Inc.^[3] KFRM has studios and offices in Clay Center. On weekdays, KFRM carries mostly news and agricultural information shows for farming communities. Nights and weekends it plays classic country music.

Due to its low position on the dial, KFRM enjoys a wide coverage area during the day. The transmitter is off U.S. Route 81 (140th Road) in Concordia.^[4] KFRM is powered at 5,000 watts by day, using a directional antenna aimed toward the southeast. It puts a high quality signal over most of Central Kansas, including Wichita. A fair signal is delivered to Oklahoma City. However, it is hard to hear in Kansas City. To avoid interfering with other stations on AM 550, KFRM drops its power to 110 watts at night, when radio waves travel further. After sunset, the station's signal is restricted to communities in and around Salina.
