While one in nine Americans relies weekly on public radio for in-depth news, cultural programming and diverse music, there are still millions of people nationwide who have limited access to public radio programs.

Public Radio Capital is dedicated to increasing the programming options available in communities and expanding public radio audiences. With a new station, public media organizations can attract more listeners, reach other geographic regions, diversify distribution channels and introduce new programming to better serve their community.

For example, PRC represented the following clients in expanding public radio services:

From TV to Radio
