A Note of Gratitude

NCPR's broadcast license is held by St. Lawrence University. Throughout the station's history, SLU has provided financial and in-kind support, guidance and encouragement. On behalf of all of NCPR's staff and listeners, we extend heartfelt thanks to all at SLU. More than anything else, we appreciate how clearly they let us know they're proud of North Country Public Radio.
