As we reflect on 45 years of community journalism and cultural programming, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who's supported New Hampshire Public Radio over the decades. After forming a committee, incorporating as Granite State Public Radio, and securing $61,000 in planning grants, the dream became reality. Under his leadership, the station rebranded as New Hampshire Public Radio, and in 1991 moved to a larger, production-ready studio at 207 North Main St. in Concord. To match this physical footprint with meaningful local content, NHPR launched its first local talk show, Perspectives, hosted by Laura Kiernan from 1993 to 1997. Walter Peterson as honorary campaign chair, NHPR launched "The Campaign for 21st Century Radio."
