In 1968, KCPR was founded by two students experimenting on their own in their dorm room. At its core, it is the embodiment of youth. It is staffed by the artists and vanguards. It embraces change, it champions the different and refuses to conform to the status quo. KCPR believes in the artists it plays. It believes in their message. Their story. Their art. KCPR is students, playing for students.
