WDPR Dayton Public Radio

A public classical music broadcaster operating under the Discover Classical brand, funded through a combination of public grants and corporate sponsorships. Financial support has been provided by the Ohio Arts Council and Montgomery County. Programming includes a regular installment of Composers Datebook, a daily feature airing at noon that profiles composers and their works, and is also available for on-demand listening online. The station produces ArtsFocus, a program dedicated to timely interviews covering regional arts activities. Listeners may subscribe to Keynotes, an e-mail newsletter distributing station news and program listings. The station accepts vehicle donations — including cars, trucks, and boats — as a fundraising mechanism, with donors receiving a tax deduction. Community engagement includes opportunities for viewers to apply for unspecified positions by an annual spring deadline. Programming is supported by corporate underwriting contributors in addition to listener donations.
