UA Little Rock Public Radio Celebrates 50th Anniversary During Spring Drive
UA Little Rock Public Radio, home of KUAR FM 89.1 and KLRE Classical 90.5, is celebrating 50 years of providing Arkansas with important news, vibrant music, and quality public programming.
“As UA Little Rock Public Radio reaches its golden anniversary, we take a moment to reflect on the impact it has had on our community over the past 50 years,” said Jonathan Seaborn, general manager of UA Little Rock Public Radio. “From music and news to community events and local stories, the station has been a staple in Arkansas, connecting people through the power of radio.”
The 2023 Spring Fund Drive will run from March 13-17. UA Little Rock Public Radio has a goal of raising $100,000 and adding 100 new sustaining members to their loyal group of supporters.
To make your donation even more impactful, UA Little Rock Public Radio has secured a generous matching donation from several community partners. For every dollar you donate during the fund drive, it will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your contribution.
Donors who give during the spring fund drive may qualify for an NPR water bottle, tickets to Colony House at The Hall, Arkansas Ballet tickets, Arkansas Symphony Orchestra tickets, and other great giveaways.
“Your support will help us continue to bring you the news you trust from KUAR and the classical music you hold dear on KLRE,” said Grace Zafasi, membership director at UA Little Rock Public Radio. “We are committed to providing quality programming without interruption, and our fund drives are our way of raising the money we need to keep our station running. We would love for you to join us in celebrating 50 years of public radio in central Arkansas and to support us in our mission to provide high-quality programming for many more years to come.”
Housed within the College of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Education, UA Little Rock Public Radio is a public service unit of UA Little Rock. University students gain professional experience by working as interns and part-time staff members who take part in all aspects of KLRE and KUAR operations with a specific focus on news reporting and broadcast production.
