Every day, NPR brings you stories that help make sense of the world we live in. From Washington policy decisions to nationwide conversations about education, health, science, and culture, KIOS connects you to thoughtful reporting that helps you understand how national events shape life here in Omaha.

Your support keeps those voices on the air. Programs like Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and On Point rely on listener funding to deliver reporting that is accurate, balanced, and deeply informed.

When you give to KIOS, you are doing more than supporting a radio station. You are helping keep fact-based journalism accessible to everyone in our community. You are making sure the stories that matter most are told clearly and responsibly.

Public radio belongs to all of us, and it only works when listeners like you make it possible.
