A Note from Jon McTaggart

Jan 9, 2017

Appreciation from MPR President and CEO Jon McTaggart

MPR is turning 50!

We want to celebrate with all our friends, so we're glad you're here! Some of you have been with us since our first broadcast on January 22, 1967, and some of you have found Minnesota Public Radio more recently. Whether you listen in your car, stream us online while at work, enjoy a podcast on the bus, attend one of our many events or have chosen to be a Member, YOU are helping to power this vital and trusted public service, and we are so grateful.

We want to say THANK YOU in the best ways we know how, so we are producing new events and broadcasts, new programs and special services all year during 2017...and all for you! Check out our calendar for a full listing.

Because you are a part of MPR's story, we want to hear from you. Please share a memory or a message about MPR in your life, and we'll share these throughout the year.

Thank you again for listening and for supporting Minnesota Public Radio!

Jon McTaggart, President and CEO
