Southern California Public Radio to Bring Award-Winning Public Radio Programming to Coachella Valley Beginning August 22
(Pasadena, Calif.) August 22, 2008—Southern California
Public Radio today announced it will begin broadcasting in the Coachella
Valley on 90.3 KPCV starting Monday, August 22th. Coachella
Valley residents will now be able to tune to 90.3 KPCV for 24-hour
public radio news—with the most complete offering of NPR,
American Public Media™ and PRI programming plus
award-winning regional coverage from SCPR's News Team.
With a newsroom that has won nearly 200 awards for journalistic excellence, SCPR produces in-depth public affairs programs that address the most important issues affecting the Southland: the weekday programs with renowned columnist Patt Morrison and AirTalk® with Larry Mantle, and the weekend news, life and arts magazine, Off-Ramp® with John Rabe.
SCPR is also the local home for public radio's signature programs,
including A Prairie Home Companion®, Marketplace®,

"We are delighted to extend SCPR's service to the residents of the
Coachella Valley by broadcasting on 90.3 KPCV," said Bill Davis,
President of Southern California Public Radio. "The Coachella Valley
is an increasingly important part of the Southland—in terms of population,
obviously, but also in terms of its economic, political and cultural
impact on the larger metropolitan area. KPCV's award-winning reporting
from Steven Cuevas and others will help listeners throughout the
Southland have a better understanding about what's happening in
the Coachella Valley and vice versa."
Additional programming information for 90.3 KPCV is available at www.scpr.org.
