KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas will be off the air starting the afternoon of Monday, October 20 through Friday as we replace its aging and unreliable transmitter. While we're off-air, you can keep listening to our digital stream directly above this alert or on the HPPR mobile app. This planned project is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining free and convenient access to public radio service via FM radio to everyone in the listening area. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Ken Davis

Director of Programming and Content

Born and raised in Champaign, Illinois, Ken hosted his first public radio air shift as a jazz host in September of 1988, leading to a lifetime love of public radio. As program director, Ken oversees the programming and operations in Garden City and Amarillo, joining HPPR in May of 2020 after previously acting as Assistant PD/Operations Manager/On-Air Fundraising Producer at St. Louis Public Radio until 2000. 
 
In between, he co-designed a software system now used by NPR and hundreds of public radio member stations nationwide, consulted on recording studio design and acoustics, and engineered and produced a variety of musical and experimental recordings.
 
Ken was attracted to the blend of music and news programming at HPPR and Connect, and as a musician, to the vibrant arts communities in the High Plains region. When he’s not listening to or thinking about radio, he’s spending time with the family, playing bluegrass music or recording local musicians.

If you'd like to share feedback on HPPR programming on our main signal or HPPR Connect, or if you have questions, please reach out to Ken at kdavis@hppr.org.
