Veterans' Voices: Rochester
The Veterans' Voices series is incredibly popular. The Ampers stations get a lot of positive feedback about the segments. Until now, the segments have focused on a particular war or conflict. But, several of the stations have decided to gather and share Veterans' stories from their local communities. For Veterans' Voices: Rochester, Ampers will partner with KRPR to create fifteen (15) two-minute segments showcasing Veterans from Rochester and the surrounding communities.
Ampers Veterans' Voices
$194,000 the first year is for statewide programming to produce and distribute the Veterans' Voices program to educate and engage communities regarding Minnesota veterans' contributions, knowledge, skills, and experiences with an emphasis on the untold stories of veterans from diverse communities.?
More Minnesotans of all ages, ethnicities and incomes will have access to Minnesota history than would if this project was not funded.
The project will result in more locally and Minnesota-focused content produced by public radio than would exist without these segments.
