Company Profile

Company Description:

KUER public radio, a charter member of National Public Radio (NPR), broadcasts from the Eccles Broadcast Center at The University of Utah. KUER 90.1 is a 501(c)3 non-profit and is a tax-exempt organization that provides a commercial-free mix of NPR, BBC and local news to thousands of listeners throughout Utah and beyond through its extensive translator network.

It is our fundamental belief that information and public engagement enrich a community. To that end, KUER 90.1 is intensely committed to building a community of world citizens through story and art, discussion and debate, sound and creativity. Our work is driven by our Public Service Mission:  KUER enhances the lives of its audience with a blend of news, information and entertainment in an unbiased, non-commercial context and creates an ongoing source of service and support vital to community organizations.

Our newsroom is now the largest it's ever been, and is still growing. In the last year we have opened bureaus in the southern corners of the state, added a reporter through a regional collaborative and hired our first immigration reporter. We've been selected to receive a year of training from Investigative Reporters & Editors, awarded an NPR Kroc fellow and joined forces with PRX to develop a podcast with national reach. We've won local and national awards and are developing new ways to broaden our audience. 

With our statewide coverage, we've adopted a new Purpose Statement: Exploring, Explaining and Examining the state for ALL of Utah.
