Prairie Public is a public radio service of Prairie Public Broadcasting in association with North Dakota State University in Fargo, North Dakota and the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It was launched on 1 February 1999 as North Dakota Public Radio by bringing the radio stations of NDSU and UND under the same banner as Prairie Public's similarly-named predecessor, Prairie Public Radio, which served the western portion of the state. Prairie Public maintains active studios in Grand Forks, Fargo and Bismarck. On September 26, 2006, the service received its current name, so chosen in order to achieve brand consistency with Prairie Public Broadcasting's other operations.
