HPR 3: The Bluegrass Channel Launches!
As promised, at the stroke of midnight Central Time on New Year's Day, Heartland Public Radio's all-Christmas channel became HPR3: The Bluegrass Channel. HPR 3 features Contemporary Bluegrass music 24-hours-a-day! As a result, all Bluegrass music programming currently on HPR1: The Classic Country Channel (on Saturday mornings and early weekday mornings) is now on the new Channel 3. Near To The Heart, our Sunday Gospel program, will also move to HPR3, and it will become a 24-hour-long program lasting all day on Sunday (Central Time).
HPR's 3rd unique channel of programming is a result of increased contributions from listeners like you. It is imperative that your financial contributions continue in order for us to sustain the operation of 3 unique channels of programming. Please contribute to HPR today!
