Nevada Public Radio Online Survey

Nevada Public Radio is guided by a long-range plan. This month we begin planning for the next three years and beyond. Nevada Public Radio has grown from a modest mixed format public radio station to a network of six stations and repeaters available to 75% of Nevada's population, parts of California, Arizona and Utah.

Strategic planning put in motion what needed to happen for KNPR to become News 88.9 and for the launch of Classical 89.7 KCNV. We now offer digital channels that expand our content for those with an HD receiver, developed our online services and upgraded the radio reading service for the visually impaired. Over the last few years we've invested in local public affairs programming to complement the national and international news and cultural offerings from NPR and other network sources.

Please help us plan for our future by participating in this ANONYMOUS survey. It will help us understand how listeners perceive our role in the communities we serve.
