Welcome to Northstate Public Radio

Northstate Public Radio is where you'll discover a world of news, talk, and public radio entertainment programming!

Our Spring Silent Drive Is Underway!

A Moment of Generosity

“A Moment of Generosity”

Consider for a moment how your life is enhanced by the programming on KCHO and KFPR.

Perhaps it’s the national or international perspective of NPR or the BBC … the wit or the wisdom of Car Talk or This American Life … the theater of the mind of A Prairie Home Companion … the tradition, history and culture of A Classical Concert … or the experimental stew of Evening Jazz. Perhaps it’s the vital link to our community that you make through our local Northstate News reporting, health programming, or our creative array of local music and entertainment features. It all adds up to YOUR public radio station – Northstate Public Radio.

As we enter our fifth decade of service, we turn to you for the generosity that has sustained us all along. Direct listener support insures our ability to bring you excellent news and information when it matters most. It’s time to raise the $130,000 necessary to fuel the station for the next six months. Our Silent Drive is underway NOW. Our on-air drive begins March 17th. Every dollar we raise before then will reduce the amount we need to raise on air.

Your gift now will return to you every day on KCHO and KFPR.
