Tweet: NPR Pledge Week…Wyoming Style

WPR has 3 (sometimes just 2) pledge hours per day…that’s it.

Pledge request ends whenever the stated goal is reached…then it ends.

WPR seeks 5 to 6 new members per pledge hour…that’s all.

WPR broadcasts from the UWYO campus; just three blocks form J’s school…not far.

(Makes it easy for me to personally deliver my new membership contribution).

Interesting Factoids:



From WPR Website
Approximate representation of WPR signal coverage

Red, yellow and green indicate a strong signal.
Blue and purple indicate a weaker but stable signal
.

WPR broadcasts to over 80% of Wyoming, with 26 broadcast sites throughout the state.


WPR broadcasts its signal to its remote transmitter sites via Satellite from the studio in Laramie.

From time to time, there can be problems with reception due to Satellite signal interruption caused by heavy snow or rain or, other weather related interruptions.

Just thought I’d share…
