in 2008, there was a controversy about the theological talk show, "issues, etc.". the program was removed from the station on march 18. the producer and host were also fired. three weeks later, the management of kfuo announced that "issues, etc." was canceled because the station did not have enough money for it. the station did not make its financial information public. about 75 people had a peaceful protest outside the lcms international center to question the station's motives. more than 7,000 people signed a petition online to ask for the program to be returned. the program started again on another local christian radio station on june 30, 2008. on march 13, 2012, the program returned to kfuo. the company that now produces it, lutheran public radio, now pays kfuo for airtime.
