��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio receives nearly $37k grant from Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust

John Hill — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 14:24:42 +0000

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Public Radio has received a grant of $36,681 from the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust of Arkadelphia, Arkansas, for equipment upgrades for KLRE/K��Vlog��ýR.�� “The generosity of the Sturgis Trust of Arkadelphia will help KLRE and K��Vlog��ýR acquire much-needed operational equipment that will help us maintain more consistent high-quality broadcasts from both the K��Vlog��ýR and KLRE FM and HD signals,” Vandiver said. “We sincerely thank the Sturgis Trust, whose gift will benefit the KLRE and K��Vlog��ýR listening audiences for years to come.” The Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust was established in 1981 to support and promote quality educational, cultural, human services, and health care programming for all people. “For me, public radio provides news I know I can trust,” said Lisa Speer, trustee and administrator of the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust. “Today, we are inundated with information from a variety of sources, not all of them credible, and it has gotten increasingly more difficult to differentiate reliable news sources from sources that are merely based on opinion. When I tune into public radio, I know that I am getting information that I can count on to be as fair and unbiased as possible.” The Sturgis Trust is gifting ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio with $28,718 for a backup generator for KLRE Classical 90.5, which will allow listeners uninterrupted access to their music during power outages. The 40,000-watt tower that broadcasts KLRE, is located at Metropolitan Career-Technical Center in Little Rock. The new generator will be installed in June. “Power outages cause KLRE service disruptions an average of six times per year,” Vandiver said. “A propane-powered backup generator at KLRE tower would allow for uninterrupted KLRE broadcast during Entergy service outages.” Additionally, the Sturgis Trust has also donated $7,963 for a second air conditioner to cool the equipment that transmits K��Vlog��ýR FM 89.1. A new HVAC system has already been installed at Shinall Mountain in West Little Rock, where the radio station’s tower and transmitter are located. ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio is a public service of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Its two stations, K��Vlog��ýR FM 89.1 and KLRE Classical 90.5, provide news and cultural programming to 84,000 people each week throughout Arkansas. K��Vlog��ýR is central Arkansas’s NPR station and KLRE is the only FM radio station in Arkansas dedicated fully to classical music programming. Roy Sturgis was one of 10 children of an Arkansas farmer and homemaker. In 1933, Roy Sturgis married Texas native Christine Johns. They became very successful in the timber, lumber, and sawmill industries in Arkansas. They were passionate about educational opportunities for young people and supported organizations working in the areas of health, social services, and the arts. Speer, who is an active K��Vlog��ýR listener, said the engaging programming presented on public radio is one of the reasons it’s important to support public radio in Arkansas. “I also love the variety of programming on K��Vlog��ýR,” Speer said. “It’s engaging programming that makes me feel like I am part of a larger conversation in a way that other radio stations do not. When I listen to K��Vlog��ýR, I always learn something; and I am frequently challenged to think about situations from other perspectives that I might not have otherwise considered. I sing, laugh, and cry depending on what I’m listening to at the moment. If you are not a public radio listener, you are missing out.”

Vandiver named general manager of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio

Nathan Vandiver has been named general manager of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio, home of K��Vlog��ýR FM 89.1 and KLRE Classical 90.5.�� “I’m excited and grateful for this opportunity,” Vandiver said. “Public radio is an essential media service for our community, and I am honored to be able to lead this organization. I look forward to continuing the work of our staff and the Friends of K��Vlog��ýR/KLRE board has done these past three years to grow our service and find new ways to engage with our community.” Vandiver, who also works as the program director, has served as the interim general manager of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio since 2016. He is responsible for developing and maintaining program policy, supervising programming staff, selecting on-air programming, and overseeing the quality of on-air sound. “During this time, he has led the radio station in a strong and positive direction, and I very much appreciate his continued leadership,” said Dr. Julien Mirivel, interim dean of the College of Social Sciences and Communication. “I will look forward to seeing our public radio continue to thrive under his guidance in the many years to come.” During his time as interim general manager, Vandiver has overseen upgrades to KLRE’s and K��Vlog��ýR’s control rooms with new broadcast consoles and audio control systems, expanded development efforts with an increased focus on major and planned gifts, and two years of significant growth in revenue from underwriting and individual giving. Vandiver received a bachelor’s degree in journalism from ��Vlog��ý Little Rock in 2011. He started his career at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Public Radio as an intern in the spring 2009 semester. After a successful internship, he was hired as a part-time reporter and anchor. Vandiver was promoted to program director in 2013. Vandiver lives in Little Rock with his wife, Julie, and sons, Henry and Charlie.�� “I began my journey in radio as a listener,” Vandiver said. “I found public radio at a time in my life when I was seeking a broader perspective on how the world around me worked. My experience at K��Vlog��ýR began with an internship. As a university licensee at the state’s only metropolitan university, I look forward to providing similar opportunities for students to learn broadcasting and journalism through internships at a professional media setting.” Last year, Vandiver was honored with the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network 20 over 20 Award. The award celebrates the accomplishments of nonprofit professionals over the age of 20 and establishes them as emerging or current leaders in the nonprofit sector. Vandiver said the key to success for a nonprofit organization is focusing on the people the nonprofit serves and carrying out the organization’s mission. “As a public radio station, we keep our listeners first and foremost in our minds when we make decisions,” he said. “To connect to other nonprofits, keeping those we serve in the forefront of our minds is the key to success and not losing sight of our mission. While public media stations like KLRE and K��Vlog��ýR are essential public services, we must continue to work to build them up, tell their stories and expand their services.”
