Long before the Internet connected us all, getting a global perspective was nearly impossible for the average person.
In 1983, a group of public radio stations in Minneapolis, New York, Boston and Los Angeles organized to fill the cultural void, and provide programming with a decidedly global orientation, aimed at an American audience. Public Radio International, now headquartered in Minneapolis, began broadcasting with a singular motto: “Hear a different voice.â€
That voice now includes high-quality, original programming like the arts and culture-focused Studio 360; The Takeaway, a morning radio news program; and the daily, global round up, The World, which together reach an audience of 16.2 million across 880 affiliated public radio stations.
