ABOUT KDPI
KDPI’s mission is to connect and amplify the voices of the Wood River Valley, to build community through a sense of identity and belonging, to stimulate, inspire and educate.
As we strive to understand and navigate today’s complicated world, community radio plays a critical role in the community. The Local Community Radio Act of 2010 was signed into law by President Barack Obama to “defeat the power of big money” in media and “make a giant contribution to local community programming.” After prolonged effort by founder Mike Scullion, KDPI officially went live in April of 2013, serving and informing the Wood River Valley through participation and education. At KDPI our immediate goal is to help the community understand the value of non-profit radio, a platform for collective voice and non-profit organizations operated by volunteers in the community. There are no ‘gatekeepers.’ We are not beholden to advertisers or ratings. This is your radio station, programmed locally by people who know the uniqueness of our valley.
