We're honored to be one of 57 nonprofits chosen as a 2024 generational learning grant partner by Texas Mutual Insurance Company. The grant is part of an initiative that provides holistic wraparound support for working families, which is a great fit for our KERA Kids team: the grant will support our Ready To Learn early childhood education program in Bachman Lake and West Dallas. The program is built on an intergenerational, STEM-based, research-backed model that helps create Learning Neighborhoods, areas where learning takes place anywhere, anytime. We appreciate Texas Mutual's continued support of KERA education programs! See the other grant recipients and learn more: https://ow.ly/S9xC50SIENB

This month we're sharing 50th anniversary shoutouts from a few former KERA News 90.1 FM staff members who helped shape who we are today. Abby Goldstein got her start at KERA in 1989 as a part-time host of NPR's All Thing Considered. Then she led the radio station for six years as program director starting in 2000. We're so glad Abby G. is part of our story 📻 → https://ow.ly/fqJi50SCP2O

Today is the 50th anniversary of KERA News 90.1 FM! 🍾 This month we're sharing a few anniversary shoutouts from former KERA News 90.1 FM staff members who helped shape who we are today, and Bob Ray Sanders was here in the beginning. He helped pull the switch on July 11, 1974, that launched the radio station. The Fort Worth native was a reporter for 'Newsroom' in 1972 on KERA TV – the show where he and Jim Lehrer got their starts – then went on to serve as manager of KERA Radio, VP/program director of KERA TV, and host and producer of the station’s award-winning program 'News Addition.' He also became a Fort Worth Star-Telegram editor and senior columnist. Here's to serving North Texas for 50+ more!

Take a look at former KXT Local Show host Nilufer Arsala’s last day at the station 😿💜
On air hosting, operations, programming, & connecting with audiences. Detail oriented music lover and overall joy bringer.
Right now, I’m in between wrapping up one adventure and starting another. I’m looking forward to the future, and I so treasure the time I had at KXT and KERA – North Texas Public Broadcasting. KXT writer and photographer Waffles perfectly captured my last midday shift in DFW. More on my next steps soon (!!!), but I’ll forever be thankful I was able to end my time at this station, which is so near to my heart, in such a special way. 💕
A love fest for Nilufer Arsala’s last day on the KXT airwaves
