IPR won several Michigan Association of Broadcasters awards last night, including Public Radio Station of the Year. It was a proud moment for IPR, and gratifying to have some of this fine programming recognized and valued in this venue. Our goal is always to produce material that is interesting and relevant to northern Michigan.
Congratulations to each producer, host, reporter -- and to the entire staff -- for making IPR shine in our community!
