Spokane Public Radio

The mission of Spokane Public Radio stations KPBX 91.1, KSFC 91.9, and KPBZ 90.3 is to provide high-quality, artistic, educational, and informational programming, which enhances and enlivens the cultural life and civic discourse of its listening communities. The following fundamental values guide our mission: We trust the ability of our listeners to discern between competing ideas We endeavor to promote and maintain the highest level of journalistic excellence We actively participate in the cultural life of our listening communities

Spokane Public Radio (SPR) goals in identifying community issues, needs, and interests are to address these issues primarily by bringing them into the light of awareness and public discourse. These efforts include identifying educational, political, economic, environmental, and cultural challenges and initiatives in our communities, addressing such items as the high school graduation rate, political campaigns and dialogues, area redevelopment efforts, environmental initiatives, and arts engagement with various arts and educational institutions. The approach is multi-pronged, including traditional broadcast, digital development, and events. All of these include an eye toward increased news coverage in collaboration with other Northwest public radio stations, better tracking of results and strategic adjustments, and, most importantly, developing deeper collaborations and partnerships with area educational and business institutions as well as with more direct engagement with the communities we serve.
