TUNED IN: Notes from Bob Davis, executive director of High Plains Public Radio
HPPR listeners love public radio on the High Plains, and we love our listeners.
Gain Knowledge,
Grow Community,

Whether it’s high quality regional, national and international news or unique music programs, member-supported HPPR provides essential radio for the communities it serves.
HPPR's news programs present information at the speed of calm. Morning Edition and All Things Considered - as well as stories from our reporters covering Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas - go deeper, exploring beyond the quick-hit headlines and political rhetoric. This quality news coverage is costly, and that is why High Plains Public Radio needs the support of listeners.
Add the great variety of our exclusive music showsto valuable and trustworthy news, and HPPR is the soundtrack to your life on the High Plains.
