HPR Station Updates

Real estate investor and philanthropist Jay H. Shidler has donated $1 million to fund innovation and community building initiatives at Hawai‘i Public Radio. The gift is the largest unrestricted donation in the statewide nonprofit broadcaster's 41-year history.

Hawai‘i Public Radio is pleased to announce the newest members of its Board of Directors and Community Advisory Board, effective July 18, 2022.

Despite a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the Hawai‘i Public Radio GM remains as engaged with his station and the public broadcasting community as ever.

After months of ongoing challenges related to our Mt. Kāhili transmitter site, HPR is pleased to announce that our Kaua‘i radio signal for HPR-1, serving the south and east shores, is fully restored.

For the 11th consecutive time, Hawai‘i Public Radio has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator. The top rating indicates the organization’s strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency.

Louise Keali‘iloma King Lanzilotti will be stepping away from hosting Classical Pacific to focus on hosting and curating music for Kanikapila Sunday on HPR-1.

To our Kaua‘i listeners: We sincerely apologize for the disruption in our broadcast signal. Here’s what’s going on and what we’re doing to restore service.

Support HPR with a monthly gift of 10 dollars before end of day Thursday, June 9, and we’ll thank you with a pair of tickets to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert.

If you're a passionate listener of Hawai‘i Public Radio, with ideas and feedback to share, we encourage you to nominate yourself to become a part of our Community Advisory Board.

HPR and StoryCorps are teaming up to gather diverse stories about military experiences, from stories of service, to stories of injustice.
