KYMZ received a construction permit in 2015. Campesinos Sin Fronteras worked for nearly three years to obtain the $500,000 needed to build KYMZ and get it on air. Concerns over an agreement to remove antennas from a Somerton water tower clouded CSF's efforts to put its antenna on the tower[2] In November 2017, with the construction permit deadline months away, CSF held a gala dinner to raise funds to build KYMZ.[3] Two months later, the group began surveying residents on both sides of the border about potential programs.[4][5]
