About WFPL - News 89.3 FM Radio
WFPL - News 89.3 FM Radio has anchored Louisville's airwaves since 1950, when it signed on as one of the nation's earliest public radio stations. Operated today by Louisville Public Media, the station broadcasts at a frequency of 89.3 on the FM dial, with a transmitter strong enough to reach listeners across Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Its mission has stayed remarkably steady: serious journalism, thoughtful conversation, and a genuine connection to the Ohio Valley.
That legacy shows up in the programming. And it goes far beyond reruns of national shows. As the region's flagship NPR member station, WFPL produces original reporting on state government, education, health, and the Ohio River economy through its award-winning newsroom. History buffs might appreciate that the station helped pioneer community-sponsored radio in America, long before public broadcasting became a household idea.

Each broadcast adds another entry to Louisville's story, one news cycle at a time, proving that a public radio newsroom can still matter deeply in a digital age. The signal endures.
