WPPR (88.3) is a public radio station in Demorest, Georgia. Originally, WPPR had the call letters WDEM (Radio Demorest), but changed to WPPR on August 19, 1996.[1] It is part of the Georgia Public Broadcasting radio network, which in turn is a member of National Public Radio, Public Radio International, and American Public Media. Unlike many stations of the GPB network, WPPR does not only broadcast simulcasts from GPB. WPPR also produces its own programming about the local area including Habersham County.[2] One of the community features, Community Life in Northeast Georgia, is an educational and informative program about an area that is not well known.[3] WPPR's studios are located on the Piedmont College campus in Demorest. This allows for Piedmont Mass Communications students to work directly with WPPR as interns.[4]
Translators
In addition to the main station, WPPR has a translator that helps to expand the station's signal.
