PUBLIC RADIO AND PRC'S ROLE

During the past 20 years, the audience for public radio has increased by 500%, and currently, there are nearly 30 million weekly public radio listeners. While many of us rely on public radio for unbiased and in-depth news, diverse music, and cultural programming, there are still millions of people nationwide who have limited access to public radio programs. With additional public radio stations and program options, more people could connect to their communities and world through the voices of public radio. more
