Kansas stretches 400 miles across the Great Plains, and its radio landscape is as wide open as the horizon. Wichita anchors the state's largest market, while university towns Topeka (the capital), Lawrence, and Manhattan add public radio and college sports coverage. In between, small-market stations serve farming communities that have been the backbone of American agriculture for generations.
