Yellowstone Public Radio is a public radio regional network based in Billings, Montana with transmitters covering most of Montana, as well as northern Wyoming. It is operated by Montana State University Billings. It airs a mix of programming from National Public Radio, classical music and jazz.

History

The network's first station, KEMC in Billings, signed on in 1972 as a 10-watt station owned by what was then Eastern Montana College. It boosted its power to 24,500 watts in 1978. In 1984, it joined National Public Radio, becoming the state's second NPR member. Over the next decade, it built a network of translators and repeaters across Montana, and now has one of the largest geographical coverage areas in the entire NPR system. It renamed itself Yellowstone Public Radio in 1994, reflecting that its coverage area spanned across most of the area around Yellowstone National Park. In the same year, its home since 1983, a three-story house east of campus, was renamed the Joseph L. Sample Studios in honor of the Montana broadcasting pioneer.

Stations

Yellowstone Public Radio is broadcast by ten full-power stations.

Translators

The network is also relayed by an additional 27 translators to widen its broadcast area.
