HISTORY
Wisconsin Public Radio has been broadcasting specialized programming for the Hmong-speaking residents of northeastern Wisconsin since 1985. The program is produced by Hmong residents for Hmong residents. It’s a source of information for the Hmong, allowing them to celebrate their heritage, but also helping them better understand their new country.
The program coordinator, Bee Lor, and a dedicated group of Hmong volunteers provide listeners with local, state, national, and world news that pertains to the Hmong. They also present community calendars, traditional and contemporary Hmong music, and interviews with doctors, lawyers, politicians, and other guest experts. Bee Lor is a paraprofessional bilingual aide with the Green Bay Public Schools who volunteers his time at the Green Bay studios.
INTENT
HMONG PUBLIC RADIO was created to serve the 10,000 Hmong who live in northeastern Wisconsin.
“Listeners look forward to our program every weekend because they want to hear news they can understand and be updated on current issues. Beside that, many of our listeners are older individuals who cannot read the newspapers or understand English. Hmong Public Radio is the only reliable resource for news for many Hmong.”
--Bee Lor
