KCPW is a public radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah which broadcasts programming from NPR, BBC, PRI, as well as local programming. It broadcasts from a studio at Library Square at the Salt Lake City Public Library in downtown Salt Lake City.

It broadcasts at 1010 kHz AM (KCPW) in Tooele, 88.3 MHz FM (KCPW-FM) in Salt Lake City, and 105.3 MHz FM (K287AE) in Holladay, and is owned by Community Wireless of Park City. KCPW has a sister station in Park City, KPCW.

Originally only heard in the Salt Lake Valley on its FM frequencies, the station added its AM frequency in early 2005 in order to capture a larger audience. In January 2008, the 1010 AM frequency was devoted entirely to 24/7 BBC programming. The 88.3 FM frequency also does not broadcast in stereo audio, as to accommodate radio receivers that do not have stereo capability.

AM history

The AM station originally went on the air as KTLE on 1982-05-19 (at 990 kHz). On 1992-10-30, the station changed its call sign to KTUR, on 1998-09-18 to KIQN, on 2004-08-01 to the current KCPW.

Local programs

KCPW produces a call-in program about local politics, "Politics Up Close", hosted by Jeff Robinson. It airs each Friday from 11 a.m. to noon and is podcast online.

In the past, KCPW produced two local affairs programs, "Midday Utah" (shared with sister station KPCW) and "Midday Metro". "Midday Utah" was hosted by Blair Feulner and covered topics of statewide and regional interest. "Midday Metro", which was renamed to "The Public Square", was hosted and produced by Lara Jones and covered topics of interest in the Salt Lake Valley. It was recently put on hiatus. Former Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson was an occasional guest host on "Midday Metro".
