Company Profile

Company Description:

Louisville Public Media (LPM) is an independent community supported non-profit serving our Louisville Metropolitan area with three distinct radio stations and an investigative newsroom. 89.3 WFPL News Louisville provides local, national and international news, public affairs and cultural programming. 90.5 WUOL Classical Louisville is our city’s only classical music and fine arts radio station. 91.9 WFPK Independent Louisville showcases independent, alternative music and an array of musical genres. The Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting (KyCIR) shines the light of accountability on the people and institutions in power. Although LPM was formed as a three-way partnership in the 1990s, the stations individually trace their roots back to the 1950s.  Today, the stations sustain an audience of more than 200,000 weekly listeners, and we reach more than 250,000 users via our digital platforms. LPM also serves as a community convener for public affairs and culture, presenting public panels and free concerts. The local community provides 90 percent of the funding for LPM’s annual budget of $6.5 million through memberships, grants and business sponsorships. LPM employs 60 full-time and part-time staff members, led by a President/General Manager who reports to a 20-member volunteer Board of Directors.
