Get to know Minnesota all over again

Our stations know Minnesota. In a local, connected way. That’s because Ampers is a collection of 12 independent community radio stations across our great state. From the North Shore of Lake Superior to the city streets of Minneapolis. From the Blue Earth River near Mankato to the natural beauty of Grand Rapids, we’ve got Minnesota covered.

Ampers stations have long been airing the artistic and cultural heritage of Minnesota. Thanks to funding from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, we’re now able to create more great programs and share those offerings with you.

So take a few minutes to enjoy some of the hundreds of shows and segments on this site. Come back often. We’ll be adding more every day.  And be sure to go backstage for a sneak peak at some of our best stuff.

The additional stations strengthen our mission to provide diverse radio for Minnesota's communities.
