WFPR-LP FM, Franklin Public Radio is supported by Franklin TV for Franklin and its residents as a bully pulpit for the community.
FPR’s mission writ large is simple: Amplify the Public Good
– by publicizing the many positive aspects of Franklin
life.
Citizen Support:
FPR offers an open, accessible public forum where citizens educate citizens on significant local
issues of the day. Citizen participation, opinion and editorial expression are encouraged.
Pro Bono Support:
We educate
and inform our audience about local activities, events, and free support services offered by volunteer groups and nonprofit organizations
who serve the public interests of Franklin, its schools and its residents.
Educational Support:
We also spotlight Franklin’s
local arts, music, cultural, civic and school events while providing volunteers with training and practical experience in media craft
and communication arts. Our dedicated FPR studios are co-located in our Franklin?TV Public Access studios.
Government
Support:
We provide a ready forum for informing and educating the public on issues of civic importance to Franklin and neighboring
towns. Candidates for local office are afforded equal access.
Public Safety Support:
Additionally, FPR works with
Franklin’s Fire, Police and Emergency Management Authorities. We provide direct access for Franklin’s Emergency Management Centers
to convey timely information over the air as a public safety radio service to protect life, health and property as urgent circumstances
may warrant.
PEG TV Support:
WFPR-LP serves as an outreach of Franklin.TV. We extend the reach of our public access
TV programs to the FM airwaves. Franklin.TV and PEG studios in neighboring towns within FPR’s service area all enjoy a larger
public voice.
