Inside MTPR

Find out what's happening with Montana Public Radio's DJ's, staff, and listeners.

Each year, MTPR commissions an original piece of artwork for pledge week from a Montana artist. This year’s featured creator is Stella Nall, who has brought her distinct and whimsical style to MTPR's 2026 design. On Thursday, March 5 from 5 - 6:30 p.m., we will be unveiling Stella’s artwork and auctioning off the first printed piece! Join us and support public radio and Montana's creative community.
  • Don't miss your chance to ask questions and hear stories from NPR's Ailsa Chang live in conversation with MTPR's Austin Amestoy, at the Dennison Theater in Missoula on October 14th! Free admission for all, but seating is limited. Reserve now on Griz Tix.
  • Last night, Congress passed The Rescissions Act of 2025. This package claws back funds previously appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) totaling $1.1 billion. A simple majority of lawmakers in each chamber approved this package.
  • The House has approved a proposal to eliminate $700 million in already-approved funding for public media. If enacted, it would strip essential services and could force rural stations off the air. The Senate will take up the bill next.
  • Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered or gave a thank-you gift during spring pledge week! We couldn't do this without you. We appreciate every one of you. You donated nearly $500,000 toward our $575,000 spring fundraising goal. Thank you for believing in this public service!
