NWPR Classical Music - KNWY

WSU has a long history in broadcasting, dating to 1908 when it was known as Washington State College. NWPR's flagship station, KWSU 1250 in Pullmansigned on December 10, 1922 as KFAE and became KWSC (for Washington State College) in 1925. For many years, it served a large portion of the Pacific Northwest. It became KWSU sometime in the 1960s, after Washington State attained university status. Edward R. Murrow began his career at the station, as did Keith Jackson and Barry Serafin. KWSU became a network in 1982, when KFAE-FM 89.1 Richland signed on, bringing public radio to the Tri-Cities for the first time. Two years later, WSU assumed operation of the University of Idaho's KUID-FM 91.7 FM due to budget cuts in Idaho. The station was renamed KRFA. From 1992 to 2002, ten more stations joined the network. Combined with ten translators, NWPR serves large parts of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia. Most of the stations are located east of the Cascades, though two stations are located west of the Cascades. NWPR headquarters are in the Murrow Communications Center on the WSU campus, with satellite studios at WSU Tri-Cities' campus in Richland and the University of Idaho in Moscow. ------ Shows: A Prairie Home Companion, All Things Considered, Car Talk (NPR), Fresh Air (NPR), Hearts of Space, NPR's Morning Edition, The Thistle & Shamrock, This American Life, Weekend All Things Considered, Weekend Edition Saturday, Weekend Edition Sunday, Inland Folk, Echoes, Fresh Air Weekend, Saint Paul Sunday, Jazz with Bob Studebaker, Jazz with Ken Campbell, Jazz with Scott Hanley, Jazz with Tony Mowod, Classical Music with Robin Rilette, Saturday Show (NWPR) ----- Hosts: Michele Norris, Robert Siegel, Melissa Block, Tom Magliozzi, Ray Magliozzi, Renee Montagne, Steve Inskeep, Ira Glass, Jessica Hopper, Alex Blumberg, Guy Raz, Scott Simon, Audie Cornish, Dan Maher, John Diliberto, Terry Gross, Bill Mcglaughlin, Bob Studebaker, Tony Mowod, Jay Cutris, Robin Rilette
