@kcur.org News Director @maddycfox.bsky.social said the World Cup lets the station demonstrate its brand of sports coverage, which is somewhere between “the kind of traditional public media — ‘We don’t cover it very much’ — and daily sports section … way of doing things.” current.org/2026/05/kcur...
KCUR employs all-out approach for World Cup coverage
The station has launched a newsletter, created special podcast episodes and enlisted its entire newsroom to report on the event.

"Very happy for Jordan. She's a player we didn't want to lose. I think that this was the best decision for her career. She's getting very meaningful minutes. I'm just happy that she's playing." -Vlatko (? from @maddycfox.bsky.social)
"Honestly, comparing the two, scoring a goal is just the most exciting thing ever. And you see the excitement and joy on my face." -Cooper on scoring a goal for KC Current in the home opener versus scoring for USWNT (? from @maddycfox.bsky.social)
The USWNT's opening goal against Colombia in the SheBelieves Cup was one Catarina Macario had scored countless times. But this five-second sequence was different. It was a moment Macario had been working towards for years. @melanieanzidei.bsky.social has more ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...
I continually abuse my platform in KCUR’s daily budget email to spread my women’s soccer hot takes™️
