Montana Public Radio, which began as a student training facility in 1965, is now a National Public Radio affiliate broadcasting to nearly 50% of the state's population. We are heard in the Flathead and Bitterroot Valleys, Helena, Great Falls, Butte, Dillon, and the town where our studios are located, Missoula. Our eclectic programming includes jazz, pop, opera, folk, rock, blues, world, new age, and classical music; in-depth national and local news; literature, comedy, and women's programs; science; and the longest running children's radio program in the country. Montana Public Radio is a public service of The University of Montana.
