Guests

Guest of Richard Cunningham, Jan Haraguchi-Abundo

Guest Speaker: Barbara Hastings

Our own Barbara Hastings who is the current Board Chair for Hawaii Public Radio (HPR), spoke to us about its modest beginnings to its current prominent status statewide.  HPR is a privately funded non-profit which was formed in 1976 and went on air for the first time in November 1981.
 
Currently there are two stations, HPR-1 and HPR-2.  HPR-1 focuses on News, talk, jazz, blues and world music while HPR-2 is dedicated to classical music.  HPR’s terrestrial signal covers the main Hawaiian islands via 15 stations.  The stations are also accessible via internet streaming (android or iOS apps) or through the main website and Spectrum/Hawaiian Telcom cable television. 
 
HPR is a community resource which allows for all opinions to be heard in a non-partisan “just the facts” sort of environment and has one of the only stations dedicated to classical music.  HPR’s national and local news programs are increasingly valuable in today’s world with the rise of non-traditional news and information outlets of questionable integrity/motivation.
 
HPR is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit with seven consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator, which is indicative of the highest possible rating when it comes to accountability & transparency and financial performance/efficiency.
 
As HPR is self-funded through donations from its listeners along with the community at-large and the cost of maintaining and improving the station’s current infrastructure  can be significant, there are multiple ways for you to contribute to its continued success by becoming a sustaining member, making a donation or underwriting a program are among some of the most popular ways to help.
