Native America Calling and National Native News

This project will continue development of Native America Calling and National Native News in order to increase public radio's importance to minority audiences. Grant support from CPB in 2004 allowed KBC to begin the process of increasing capacity, quality, and outreach of Native America Calling to expanded audiences. Because of the critical importance of these programs to Native radio, KBC will continue this work to strengthen all facets of both programs for long-term significance, sustainability, and viability. The programs are a uniting force in Native radio that are carried by nearly every Native radio station in the country, including rural and reservation stations that serve Native communities, and several urban, non-Native radio stations. The programs are a vital part of the Native program service NV1.
