About Us
WBOI’s mission is to strengthen the cultural, civic, and social fabric of our community and engage audiences with content that enriches the human experience.
Vision: WBOI will be a recognized, respected, and trusted provider of news and cultural content throughout Northeast Indiana.
Northeast Indiana Public Radio is the licensee for 89.1 WBOI - NPR News & Diverse Music and WBOI.org. NIPR is a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization.
The mission of Northeast Indiana Public Radio is to strengthen the cultural, civic, and social fabric of the communities we serve, and to engage audiences with content that enriches the human experience. We apply our core competencies of reporting and storytelling, our relationship with audiences, and our capacity for innovation to create a space where audiences congregate, connect and contribute to a shared understanding of their community, their country, and the world.
We inform and engage audiences and create dialogue about state and community issues with accurate reporting that is based on a disciplined method for verifying facts and communicating clearly.
We expand perspectives through exposure to creative and thoughtful individuals, cultural and musical experiences.
Programming is produced by staff and over 20 volunteers. Over 3,000 households in Indiana and elsewhere are donating "members" of our stations, accounting for more than 50-percent of our annual budget. Programming is also underwritten by local businesses, and about 9-percent of our annual budget comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
WBOI 89.1 NPR News & Diverse Music broadcasts programs from NPR. Additional providers include PRX, PRI, WNYC, and IPBS. WBOI produces about 30 hours of local programming each week.
WBOI is available on the radio at 89.1FM, via HD radio at 89.1-1 (Channel 1), streaming online at WBOI.org, and in the WBOI mobile app for iPhone and Android.
