Recently, a listener favorite, Mountain Stage from NPR returned to the KRPS schedule. You can hear it weekly, Monday nights from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
If you’re a fan of Mountain Stage, American Routes, or Ozark Highlands Radio I strongly encourage you to check out The Midnight Special from WFMT, on Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to midnight. That’s in addition to two hours of great music on Sunday nights with Folk Alley, Sundays from 10 p.m. to midnight.
With the updated schedule KRPS now brings listeners the most continuous, live coverage in the station's 37-year history. Monday through Friday you can hear live news starting with Morning Edition at 4 a.m. until 2 p.m. with Today, Explained.
Then, starting at 3 p.m. on weekdays, four additional hours of live news from The World from 3 - 4 p.m. and All Things Considered from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
That’s 74 hours of live news coverage and 135 live NPR newscasts weekly. (Many music shows do not offer a newcast cutaway)
