The Pitch

Since starting as a music publication in 1980, the Pitch has grown to become Kansas City's leading source of sophisticated information that readers know they can't get anywhere else -- whether it's in-depth news and analysis about local power brokers; a rundown of who's in and who's out in the city's spirited arts, music and nightlife scenes; or the skinny on famous barbecue joints and steakhouses. More than 258,000 people read the paper every month, picking it up every week at 1,800 locations throughout a seven-county region. Readers across the world also look to our Web site, www.thepitchkc.com, to keep up with what's happening here or to make plans whenever they're goin'​ to Kansas City.
