Hawaii Public Radio (HPR), is a network of six non-commercial, listener-supported stations serving the state of Hawaii. It is the statewide member of National Public Radio (NPR). The stations originate from the studios of The Hawaii Public Radio Plaza on Kaheka Street, near the Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu. ==History/programming== The network's original station, KHPR, signed on the air in Honolulu on November 13, 1981. It originally operated with a staff of two people—general manager Cliff Eblen and music director Bob Miller. Originally operating from rented space at the University of Hawaii, it moved to its current studios in 1987. A year later, HPR became a true statewide network with the sign-on of a station in Maui. HPR's programming choice increased in 1989, when KIPO signed on with a news and information format. Keeping with the focus on HPR-1 (KHPR), most of the programming, including the programming produced in-house (''Morning Cafe / Morning Concert'', ''Evening Concert'', ''Howard’s Day Off'', ''Sunday Brunch'', ''The Early Muse'' ) feature selections of classical music. The station also airs some non-classical programing such as ''Hearts of Space'', ''The Thistle & Shamrock'' and ''Fascinatin' Rhythm''. National programming from NPR, such as ''All Things Considered'' and ''Morning Edition'' are broadcast Monday through Friday (as well as the weekend editions of the programs on Saturday and Sundays), as well as PRI’s ''A Prairie Home Companion'' and ''Studio 360'' on Sundays. HPR-2 (KIPO) features a news and talk format during the day. National shows from NPR and PRI, such as ''All Things Considered,'' ''Fresh Air'', ''Marketplace'' and ''The World'' are broadcast Monday through Friday (''Morning Edition'' is only aired on HPR-1.) ''The Conversation'', produced in-house, airs at 8 a.m. with other locally produced talk and news shows broadcast at 5 p.m. (''The Body Show'', ''Bytemarks Café'', ''Town Square'') on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Jazz programming, including ''Evening Jazz'' and ''The Real Deal'' (also produced at HPR-2) take to the air in the evening, followed by syndicated jazz programming. The station also broadcasts the BBC World Service overnight after midnight. On the weekends, HPR-2 features national programming such as ''This American Life'', ''Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'' and ''Radiolab'' as well as ''Brazilian Experience'', showcasing Brazilian music, and ''Bridging the Gap,'' an eclectic music program; both music shows produced in-house. Sundays feature a mix of spirituality programming (''On Being'' and ''New Dimensions'') ideas (''TED Talks'') as well ''A Prairie Home Companion'' and musical standards show ''Fascinatin' Rhythm'', roots music show ''American Routes'' and ''Bluegrass Breakdown''. Music shows produced at HPR-2 that also air include ''Kanakapila Sunday'', which showcases Hawaiian music, ''Sinatra'', which features recordings, radio shows and the audio from television programming featuring Frank Sinatra, and ''Full Nelson,'' which features country music (Willie Nelson, in particular). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hawaii Public Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
