KRCU Public Radio
on the campus of Southeast Missouri State University
As the area’s source for diverse musical programming and award winning
NPR news, Southeast Public Radio strives to continuously excel in providing
the highest quality public radio programming to Southeast Missouri and Southern
Illinois. Nearly 1.9 million people within the listening area have the opportunity
to tune in to KRCU 90.9 FM which is a 6,500 watt station located in Cape
Girardeau and KSEF 88.9 FM, a 9,500 watt repeater station located in Farmington.
Gifts to Southeast Public Radio give listeners in our region access to classical
music, NPR News and cultural and educational programs. Additionally, university
students are provided with the opportunity to prepare themselves for careers
in broadcasting, or other related fields, by the hands on experience received
at Southeast Public Radio.
The costs of providing a 24-hour broadcast operation increase every year
and the need for funding remains ever-present. Southeast Public Radio’s
current needs includes the purchase of new studio equipment for a future
relocation and gifts to help pay for the purchase and installation of a
backup emergency generator to help ensure that the threat of silence over
the airwaves does not become a reality during power outages.
