 Information for Public Radio Stations

kprepresents a new direction for public radio, even a radical idea. Sure, there have been efforts for kids' radio in the past, but few comprehensive offerings for kids aged 0 to 11. Let's face it, kids have been ignored for a long, long time.

With the advent of wifi, things have changed. We now have an entirely new way to provide radio to our audiences.
kpr doesn't take away your audience. It gives you an additional audience. Here's how:

Right now, we wager that few kids listen to your Over the Air broadcast. So it seems like a big leap to get an entirely new audience, even on a new platform, right? Wrong. Because there are many, many parents who listen to your station. Our goal is to alert these parents and grandparents to this

New Way

to rely on their favorite station... a new way that will fill another need of theirs, besides information, company, or relaxation.

Target the rest of the interest of the people who listen to you now
Mark Ramsey


What are those needs?  How about wholesome, ad-free audio entertainment for preschool kids? A way to get the grandkids to settle down after lunch? A way to help their toddler fall asleep?


All with public radio sensibilities and values

More about us and our values

How we keep kids safe


And, because these new channels come on an entirely different platform, families can listen to both at the same time. Dad can listen to jazz at night Over the Air, and the kids can listen to lullabies before bedtime on the computer.
Result:
Instant gratitude for your station


It's one of those famous public radio win-win-win situations. It helps kids. It helps parents. And it helps your station- without any cost to you whatsoever.

kpr can be used in several ways:
  • Become a buddy station. Make a link to kpr on your website. Use our widget and listeners will be able to listen while watching- and staying at-  your site. It's as simple as that.

  • Let your listeners know about us on air. Use our premade PSA's or get a custom PSA of your own, free. You can hear a sample of a PSA here.


And for the more adventurous:

  • Use one of our MP3 streams, free of charge, when your station goes dark. We'll even insert your station Id's for you. Lullaby is a perfect overnight channel.

  • Use one of our streams to fill a vacant HD channel, free. Please contact us about this.

  • Create a local kids' program- live or archived-  at your station and insert it into YOUR LOCAL version of our stream. Or send it to us for national use. Or both. We can help you with this.

  • Help young local listeners create modules at your station for use on Jabberwocky- and for insertion in your regular programming. Finally All Things Considered really considers local kids! We can help you with this.



Thank you.
