NCPR logoAbout the Station

Based in Canton, NY, in St. Lawrence County, NCPR operates a network of 33 transmitters broadcasting to the entire Adirondack North Country, western Vermont and southeastern Ontario. The commercial-free format includes a wide variety of programs from National Public Radio including All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Fresh Air and more. NCPR's awards-winning news team can be heard weekdays at 8:00 am with regional news broadcasts, features and interviews. The station also airs an eclectic mix of locally-hosted music programs.

Donations from listeners sustain our day-to-day operation. In fact, the single largest segment of our funding comes from household members and regional businesses. Total community giving exceeds $1.5 million annually.

In addition to North Country Public Radio's on-air signal, the station operates a comprehensive website, and is the emergency broadcast service for many communities in the region.

From the craft… a love of unique human voices, voices that are conversational, authentic, intimate; an attention to the details of music, sound elements, language, pace and writing.
