WSPR CONVERSATION
Our first WSPR Conversation of 2025 will be held Thursday, June 30th at 12pm PT / 1pm MT.
Many station leaders are thinking through the potential impacts of a reduction or elimination of federal funding for public media. What are the possible outcomes? What should our boards, licensees and local leaders know about the issue? How can we best advocate for the interests of our organizations?
Last fall, the Station Resource Group released a white paper outlining four possible scenarios. Report author Steve Bass will join us for a discussion. You're invited to join in and bring your questions.
Steve recently retired from a successful career leading public media organizations, most recently as CEO of Oregon Public Broadcasting. We'll ask him to share some highlights and where he sees our industry heading next.
Our mission is...
To provide opportunities for formal and informal interaction with other non-commercial public broadcast entities in the region.
To provide strength, cohesiveness, training, and development for regional public radio organizations with similar interests and goals.
To provide a resource pool for the acquisition, distribution, sharing, and coordination of regional resources.
To provide representation for the member organizations on the regional and national level, with regard to issues, policies, and opportunities of importance to public radio stations and their audiences.
