What is KBIA’s relationship to NPR?
KBIA is not owned by NPR. KBIA is a member station of NPR, meaning that we pay fees to broadcast shows that NPR distributes. KBIA also pays fees to broadcast programs from Public Radio International, American Public Media, and other distributors. KBIA, in turn, asks listeners for financial support to defray these program costs. Listeners nationwide donate money directly to their local public-radio stations, and not to NPR or other program distributors.
