Mississippi Publuc Radio 🇺🇸

Mississippi Public Radio (MPR) is a non-commercial, listener-supported network of radio stations broadcasting news, information, and cultural programming throughout Mississippi. As a service of Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB), MPR operates a network of repeater stations across the state, with its main station being WMPN-FM in Jackson. MPR distinguishes itself by being non-commercial, relying on listener donations, foundation grants, and corporate underwriting rather than traditional advertising. This allows MPR to focus on public interest programming, delivering a variety of NPR programs like *Morning Edition*, *All Things Considered*, *Fresh Air*, and *Weekend Edition Saturday & Sunday*, alongside other national programs such as *Marketplace*, *The World*, and *Science Friday*. MPR also creates local programming, including *Mississippi Edition*, *Southern Remedy*, *In Legal Terms*, and *MPB Think Radio*, focusing on Mississippi issues and events. The network's music programming spans classical, jazz, blues, and other genres.
