NPR has been named the 2017 Harris Poll EquiTrend News Service Brand of the Year. The EquiTrend Brand Study also showed NPR to be the Most Trusted Brand and the Most Loved Brand.
WVIK brings this trusted news source to the Quad Cities and Dubuque, pairing it with an award winning local news room. The WVIK newsroom won a dozen awards this year from the Illiniois Associated Press Broadcasters Association and the Iowa Broadcast News Association, including First Place for Overall Excellence in Iowa.
Perhaps this is why Nielsen just reported that news consumption on radio grew this year by nearly 13%, with surveys showing that adults are spending nearly five-and-a-half hours per week with radio news. If you're one of these adults that are tuning into the news more often, or maybe even for the first time, you need to know that all this excellence on WVIK is made possible by support from listeners like you.
Please make a gift to keep public radio strong in the Quad Cities region and nationwide. The best protection for WVIK and NPR is the unwavering support of the communities we serve.
