Fifty & Forward: An Anniversary Celebration of NPR
SDPB Radio & SDPB.org: Monday, Oct. 4, Noon & 7pm (11 am & 6pm MT)
May 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of NPR’s first onair original broadcast. In the last half century, NPR and SDPB have been essential, trusted sources for local events and cultural programming featuring music, local history, education and the arts. To mark this milestone, we’re reflecting on — and renewing — our commitment to serve an audience that reflects America and to Hear Every Voice. Fifty years ago, All Things Considered broadcast for the first time. From the start, NPR forged a new path. When NPR began promoting its first original programming in 1971, it billed All Things Considered as a “radio revolution.” A news network like it, helmed by women, hadn’t existed in the United States.
