What is a Sustaining Membership?
Sustaining Memberships help support Minnesota Public Radio with your contributions. They are designed to renew automatically, at the same time every year. You simply use a credit card or checking account to set up a contribution schedule that works for you. These regular contributions continue until you either want to change the amount or stop the payments.
Sustaining Memberships save on paper and postage, since we don’t need to send letters to remind you about your renewal date. As a result, more of your member dollars go to programming.
Sustaining Memberships also allow you to spread your contribution out over the course of the year. You can learn more about the Sustainer program by visiting

How much of MPR's funding comes from the government?
About 9 percent of our total funding comes from government sources, mostly in the form of program grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Members provide the most important source of program support.
What is HD radio?
HD Radio is a new digital technology that adds unprecedented clarity to AM and FM broadcasts. An HD signal can also be split so that more than one broadcast can be offered on a single frequency.
