The station's programming includes music of numerous genres, played by volunteer DJs.

Although similar in funding strategies to a traditional public radio station, KRFC is not a member of any of the major networks such as NPR or Pacifica.

KRFC has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts, with a signal extending from the Wyoming border to the suburbs of Denver.

The agreement was submitted to the FCC on July 7, 2002, who then granted PRFR a construction permit for a 3,000–watt non-commercial radio station.

Volunteers continue to make up the majority of KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins' workforce.
