You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kfm''' is an [[Radio in Ireland|Irish radio station]] based in [[Naas]], serving [[County Kildare]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]].<ref name="bci operator">((Cite web|url=http://www.bci.ie/licensed_operators/local_radio_kfm.html |title=Licensed Operators: Kfm |publisher=bci.ie |accessdate=29 March 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100115065924/http://www.bci.ie/licensed_operators/local_radio_kfm.html |archivedate=15 January 2010 ))</ref>

Kfm broadcasts on 97.6fm and 97.3fm to all parts of county Kildare 24 hours a day from the state-of-the-art Kfm Broadcast Centre, Newhall, Naas, County Kildare and around the world on its website and [[iPhone]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] apps.

It began broadcasting in 2004, having won a ten-year franchise for the county from the [[Broadcasting Commission of Ireland]]. Kildare had previously been part of a combined franchise with [[County Carlow]] and was served by [[CKR FM]], who did not get their licence renewed.

The station, with a contemporary format, caters for an audience from 15+ upwards.

In January 2014, Kfm was successful in the renewal of its broadcast licence by the BAI for another 10-year term.

Kfm transmitters are based on Slive Thuile, County Dublin - to serve the north of Kildare on 97.6Fm and in Rossmore, [[County Laois]] to serve the south of the county on 97.3FM.

Kfm's broadcast area is the most station saturated in Ireland, primarily due to the close proximity to Dublin City.

Despite the intense competition, for the period from April 2013 to March 2014, Kfm was the most listened to radio station across the week in County Kildare.<ref>http://www.ipsos/mrbi/jnlr((dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes ))</ref>

The station has been nominated for a number of PPI awards and in 2011 won the FAI's Communications Award (Radio).

The company CEO includes Clem Ryan, Paul Power ([[Program director]]), Bertie McDermott ([[Sales management|Sales manager]]), and Ciara Plunkett ([[Copy editing|News editor]]).

In November 2019, the ownership changed. Kfm was bought outright by existing director shareholders CEO Clem Ryan and Seán Ashmore. A number of existing shareholders, including David Mongey of Mongey Communications and Liam Ross of the golf buggy supply firm The Buggyman, decided to exit the group. Ashmore is a founding member of Kfm and is the majority shareholder of Wicklow's East Coast FM, as well as a significant shareholder in Dublin's Sunshine 106.8. He is CEO of multi-city radio station Classic Hits and is a director of Spirit Radio.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/business/media/radio-executives-buy-out-shareholders-of-kildares-kfm-station-38543319.html|title=Radio executives buy out shareholders of Kildare's Kfm station|first=Samantha|last=McCaughren|work=[[Irish Independent]]|date=September 29, 2019))</ref>
