History of Wyoming Public Radio
Wyoming Public Radio began in 1966 at the University of Wyoming as KUWR. Shortly thereafter, Congress passed the Public Broadcasting Act creating National Public Radio, of which Wyoming Public Radio would become a member. The station offers
NPR programming, state news, arts and culture reporting, music, and more. It broadcasts to over 90% of Wyoming and remains a service of the University of Wyoming.
