Red River Radio
Red River Radio is a regional public radio network for northwest Louisiana, southern Arkansas, eastern Texas, and the southeasternmost corner of Oklahoma, serving communities in the valley of the Red River of the South through five radio stations. The network is headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, on the campus of Louisiana State University Shreveport.
The Red River Radio listening region is one of the largest coverage areas for public radio in the United States.
Red River Radio consists of six stations and one translator:
Red River Radio (RRR) is affiliated with National Public Radio and broadcasts many popular NPR programs including Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, World Cafe, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me, and From the Top. The network also broadcasts many Public Radio Exchange programs including This American Life and To the Point and many programs from American Public Media, including Marketplace Money, Performance Today, and The Splendid Table. Red River Radio broadcasts many independently produced programs such as Art of the Song, Beale Street Caravan, Blues Before Sunrise, Bluegrass Breakdown, Classical Guitar Alive, Hearts of Space, intelligence2 Dates, New Orleans All the Way Live, Radiolab, Snap Judgment, With Heart and Voice, and Women in Music.
Red River Radio provides local news weekday mornings during Morning Edition. In 2005, news producer Kate Archer pioneered a community news-gathering effort called the Community Correspondent program in which residents of the community borrow equipment from the network to produce local stories for broadcast during the local newscasts.
Some of the programs aired on RRR are produced locally, at the KDAQ studio. For instance, Wally Derleth hosts Evening Jazz, featuring nights dedicated to big band, contemporary and other subgenres of jazz music. Other locally produced programs include Blues After Hours, hosted by John Ellis and Regional Symphony Broadcasts, hosted by Kermit Poling. A previously-aired local program, Soul Review, dedicated to classic soul and R&B from the 1960s to the 1980s, was hosted by Eric Jenkins from 2008 to 2011.
Numerous local and national contributors provide educational and often compelling commentary at different times during the week. Currently, these short radio segments include A Moment of Science, Get It Growing, Earth and Sky, History Matters, Eco Tech Minute, What Was I Thinking?, Dr. Archie McDonald's Commentary, The Big Picture With Alexandyr Kent, Stardate, and Spotlights.
Like most public radio stations, RRR is funded primarily by its members. Twice each year, the network conducts a membership campaign pledge drive to pay for programming and ongoing operational costs. For the past several pledge drives, RRR has met or exceeded its membership goals, and at the halfway point through fiscal year 2009 had recorded its best support ever, despite the uncertain economy.
