History

High Plains Public Radio was founded in 1977. The network's flagship station, KANZ (91.1 FM) in Garden City, Kansas, signed on in 1980. Over the next three decades, HPPR has added seven other stations in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as low-powered translators in Oklahoma and Colorado. Most of these areas had never been previously served by an NPR station before.
