Support Campaign for the Classics, Secure Classical Music on the Radio!
In April 2007, Northeast Indiana Public Radio acquired 94.1 FM, a full power frequency that is now WBNI's new home for Beethoven, Bach and the full spectrum of classical composers! Financial support is now being raised through our Campaign for the Classics to meet the $1.75 million purchase price for the station, and upgrade transmission equipment for digital broadcasting (HD Radio). The stronger signal is bringing classical music to Bluffton, Huntington, Decatur, Columbia City, and Wabash, and improving reception throughout Fort Wayne. View coverage map for 94.1 FM. The acquisition of 94.1 FM moves Fort Wayne alongside cities such as Los Angeles and Washington, DC where the only source for classical music 24-hours a day is on public radio! Our Campaign for the Classics seeks to make 94.1 FM a community asset for years to come, expanding our area’s access to great performances recorded locally or acquired from venues around the world!  Learn more!

Consider A Vehicle Donation to WBNI, WBOI
Our partnership with Charitable Auto ResourceS Inc offers a great way for that vehicle that you may no longer need to become a tax deductible contribution to support the programming on WBNI and WBOI. Here's a picture of a recent donation to New Hampshire Public Radio's Car Donation program. CARS was able to sell the vehicle at auction for $12,000, returning the highest percentage of the sale back to the station! You might not have a 1923 Model T, but we'd love to handle any car donation you are willing to make. CARS will arrange for the pickup of your vehicle, the sale, all insurance and paperwork. Plus, many area companies will match the value of the vehicle you’re donating, which extends your gift to Northeast Indiana Public Radio! For more information, view the CARS FAQ page, then call NIPR's Karen Fraser, 452-1189, or call toll free 866-NIPR-CAR.
