About the Show
Guess Who’s Coming to Kansas City
The program targets all cultures and genders. It celebrates special holidays, events and specializes in ethnic events not limited to sports, conventions, seminars and provocative subjects others dare not to touch. It is referred to as the Anchor Public Affairs Programming on Saturday evening. When people want to reach specific markets, they want to be on “Guess Who’s Coming to Kansas City!” The show publicizes issues that impact the Minority Community, encouraging the pursuit of positive solutions.
Davy Rothbart, co-Director of MEDORA, and creator and editor of FOUND Magazine, will be in the KKFI studios this evening to talk with Guess Who’s Coming to KC host M.C. Richardson.
