Host Matt Donnelly is joined by Conductor Emeritus of the Great Falls Symphony and School Board Member Gordon Johnson to talk about the origins of KGPR 89.9fm and the Great Falls Public Radio Association.
KGPR is celebrating its 40th year of broadcasting in Great Falls this year, airing National Public Radio programming, Montana Public Radio, Local KGPR Great Falls programming and everything in between. Gordon recounts the process by which interested parties got KGPR up and running, and his story reminds us all of the importance of Public Radio in our lives.

Great Falls Public Radio Association Mission Statement (adopted 2/5/1990):
"The mission of the Great Falls Public Radio Association is to provide the people of Great Falls and the surrounding area with public radio services.
The function of KGPR is to provide vital news, educational, cultural and public affairs coverage without direct charge to the listeners while maintaining the technical standards and competence necessary to carry out this mission.
In addition, it is KGPR's goal to offer broadly balanced programming.
Public radio is and should continue to be a major forum for the development of cultural diversity and enrichment in the listening area."
