Celebrating a Century of Service
The history of Iowa Public Radio stretches back over a century. WOI in Ames and WSUI in Iowa City were among the first radio stations nationally granted broadcasting licenses in 1922. Help us celebrate this historic milestone by taking a look back at important moments throughout our century of service, sharing your oldest memories of public radio and joining us at an event near you.
