RADIO / PODCAST

Texas Public Radio

Texas Public Radio operates seven public radio stations, serving a wide swath of South Central Texas. Our aggregated service area consists of 22 counties covering 20,000 square miles. Two of our stations (KSTX, 24/7 news and information, and KPAC, 24/7 classical music) serve the San Antonio area. The other five stations provide service to the Hill Country, the Highland Lakes, Snyder, Del Rio and Gonzales. These are our Tex-Net stations.

Connecticut Public

Our organization was established in 1962 as the Connecticut Educational Television Station, broadcast on station WEDH from the basement of Trinity College Library in Hartford. CPTV was created in 1974 when WEDH formed a network with three other television stations in the state. CT Public Radio signed on in June 1978, and that year joined CPTV to form Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. For many years, the station aired primarily classical music in between Morning Edition and All Things Considered. It changed to an all-news and information format in 2006. Now, we produce 10-12 daily radio newscasts, four call-in talk shows, and one weekly news magazine show and podcast. In addition to statewide distribution through CT Public platforms, our reporting is shared regionally through the New England News Collaborative (a network of eight public media newsrooms covering the six New England states) and nationally through NPR.

KUT

KUT is the NPR affiliate in Austin, operating out of the University of Texas’ flagship campus. We are an audience-focused, community-funded newsroom that focuses on city government, education, health care, politics and policy, energy and the environment, transportation and housing and affordability issues. We cover an 8-county region in Central Texas. Our mission is to provide our audience with the information they need to understand the world around them and engage with their communities on civic issues. We distribute our content through FM radio, our website, social media, podcasts and other platforms to reach our audience where they are.  

KUER / NPR Utah

KUER is Utah’s largest NPR affiliate, reaching 165,000 listeners each week from St. George to Pocatello, Idaho. KUER/NPR Utah, licensed through the University of Utah, employs 28 full-time staff including a news director, politics/government editor, a web producer, five reporters, a news/production assistant and two hosts. The mission of KUER News is to provide reporting in the public interest with a developing bent toward investigative, watchdog journalism.

WYSO Public Radio

Our role, beyond serving as the NPR affiliate for our region, is to share voices that are often excluded or marginalized in other outlets. To cite a few examples, we share the stories of families impacted by the opioid crisis; interviews with elderly African-American residents of Dayton’s west side who have chosen to age in place in their homes; and in-studio performances local musicians. Our FM signal reaches 12 counties in southwest Ohio. To the south we serve the growing area between Dayton and Cincinnati; to the north, Sidney, Ohio; to the west, Richmond, Indiana; and to the east the outskirts of Columbus. Our coverage area includes urban, rural and small towns.

WYPR 88.1 FM

WYPR 88.1 FM is a non-commercial FM radio station headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland with repeating facilities in Frederick, Maryland (WYPF-FM) and in Ocean City, Maryland (WYPO-FM).

WYPR is Baltimore’s premier National Public Radio Station, carrying content from NPR, American Public Media and the BBC World Service.

We cover Louisiana: 14 parishes in all. Our service area ranges from the dense historic neighborhoods of New Orleans to small towns nestled in pine forests and communities hugging bayous. We serve this region with a schedule of news, information, and wide-ranging cultural programming on WWNO 89.9FM and on KTLN 90.5 FM in the bayou country around Houma and Thibodaux. After a post-Katrina rebuilding of staff and membership, WWNO put new emphasis on locally produced news and cultural programs. Our reporting priorities have been public schools reform, water management and coastal land loss, and local arts and culture.

Northern Public Radio – WNIJ

The mission of Northern Public Radio is to enrich, inspire and inform adults in northern Illinois through programs and services that share ideas, encourage thought, give pleasure and create community. We are a member station for National Public Radio (NPR) and create opportunities throughout the year to work with reporters at all stages of their careers. The challenge and opportunity of our reach is the large geographic area we serve; from the rolling hills of northwestern Illinois as far as the Mississippi River, north to the southern Wisconsin border, south to the beauty of the Illinois Valley and Starved Rock state park near LaSalle, with an urban center of Rockford and the educational hub of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. The urban/rural divide allows us to provide perspectives of scope, scale, and context to how issues affect our listeners in these different landscapes that is not replicated by TV and newspapers given their smaller geographic reach.

WITF

WITF is a public media organization, based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We have a history of serving a 19-county region (nearly one-third of the state’s population) that dates back more than 50 years. We have been a leader in establishing collaborative projects and content verticals with other Pennsylvania public media organizations.
