Wyoming Public Media

Wyoming Public Media is the University of Wyoming's statewide public radio service: Wyoming Public Radio (NPR), Classical Wyoming, Jazz Wyoming and Wyoming Sounds, reaching more than 90 percent of Wyoming from Laramie.

Wyoming Public Media is the public radio service of the University of Wyoming, based in Knight Hall on the Laramie campus. It traces its roots to KFBU, Wyoming's first radio station, in 1922; its flagship KUWR 91.9 FM signed on in 1966. Today it runs four radio networks and a website: Wyoming Public Radio, the state's only NPR member, with news and cultural programming from NPR, PRX and the BBC alongside statewide reporting; Classical Wyoming; Jazz Wyoming; and Wyoming Sounds, an adult album alternative service launched in 2016.

A network of full-power stations and translators on about 30 broadcast sites carries the services to more than 90 percent of Wyoming, including Laramie, Casper, Cheyenne, Jackson, Rock Springs and Lander, with HD channels statewide and streams through its website and mobile apps. Its podcasts include The Modern West, a PRX production about the evolving identity of the American West. The organization's mission is to connect Wyoming through news and cultural programming that informs, inspires and educates.

Wyoming Public Media employs about 33 people in news, hosting and programming, production, engineering, digital, membership and development, underwriting and administration. Staff are University of Wyoming employees, so openings are posted on the university's job portal and hiring runs through UW Human Resources, with university benefits.
