Community Representation Statement

KPCW is the only not-for-profit source of free, independent, daily local news for residents and visitors in Utah’s Summit and Wasatch counties.

Keeping our community connected and informed is at the heart of what KPCW does every day. KPCW strives to be an anchor in the community that listens deeply, surfaces untold stories, presents fact-based information that builds awareness, empathy and engagement among the diverse communities we serve.

KPCW conducts in-depth local news and interviews with city and county leaders, public health officials, local school boards and nonprofits serving the community, and the station provides up-to-the minute information affecting our listeners such as severe weather, power outages, road conditions and regional emergencies like wildfires and backcountry avalanches.

With inclusivity in mind, KCPW posts stories in both English and Spanish and has a dedicated Spanish webpage ensuring everyone who lives and works in Summit and Wasatch Counties is informed.

KPCW also delivers locally produced public affairs shows and podcasts focused on business, arts and culture, the environment, physical and mental health, advances in science and technology and music and entertainment programming.

All of our news stories and our locally produced public affairs shows are posted to our website and mobile app without a paywall. This means that KPCW content is accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime, making it easy for Summit and Wasatch residents – and anyone around the world – to access KPCW content for free.
