WKU Public Radio has new website, smartphone apps

WKU Public Radio, the public radio service of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, has a new website.

The new site, which I found easy to navigate and also easy on the eyes, gives the visitor all that's needed to experience the best of NPR and WKU's own programming online. It's very good.

And, unlike so many sites nowadays which throw everything but the kitchen sink at the viewer, the notable lack of excessive and distracting clutter on the new website is indeed refreshing.

In addition, smartphone and iPad users will also want to take note of WKU Public Radio's new mobile apps, which can be found here. For phone users, both iOS and Android versions are available.

WKU Public Radio is in its 32nd year of serving Western Kentucky with unique, non-commercial programming that is always of exceptional quality. Four full-power transmitters and one low-power translator serve 1.3 million people across Kentucky as well as southern portions of Indiana and northern portions of Tennessee.

In the Tri-State area, listeners can find WKU Public Radio on the dial at either 88.9 FM (WKYU-FM, Bowling Green) or 89.5 FM (WKPB-FM, Henderson/Owensboro). Other transmitters are located in Somerset and Elizabethtown.
