Omaha Public Radio

Radio profoundly changed the American culture by exposing more people to new ideas, music, news, and entertainment. Today, Omaha Public Radio continues to play a vital role in spreading information, educating and enlightening people, and it helps make listeners in our pluralistic society more responsive, informed human beings and intelligent responsible citizens.

Omaha Public Radio brings the world to the Omaha community and beyond 24 hours a day the world of politics, science, culture, and music. Through our daily lineup of fact-centered reporting, insightful conversations, and strong community focus, KIOS provides connections to the heartbeat of Omaha in ways no one else does.

In addition to national and regional programming, KIOS’s coverage of arts and culture is focused on locally produced shows that reflect how our community lives. This is reflected in jazz, blues, adult alternative, ambient and retro music shows, live interviews on a diverse range of cultural topics and film, and conversations on how to live well physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually across fields and disciplines. KIOS also amplifies the voices of local nonprofits in a daily intervie w segment.
