Baylor Public Radio was established in 1972 by Baylor University, a private Christian university located in Waco, Texas. The station was founded with the goal of providing educational and cultural programming to the Waco community and the surrounding region. While Baylor Public Radio does not function as a traditional news outlet, it does provide listeners with news and information programming, including coverage of local and regional events, as well as national and international news. The station's programming also includes a variety of talk shows, music, and other content focused on topics such as arts, culture, and public affairs. As a public radio station, Baylor Public Radio is based in Waco, Texas and is owned and operated by Baylor University. One interesting fact: Unlike commercial radio stations, Baylor Public Radio relies on listener support and donations to fund its operations and programming, rather than advertising revenue.
