You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 75.101.128.0/17 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:39, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Louisville Public Media office.jpg|thumb|Office in Louisville]]
'''Kentucky Public Radio''', [[doing business as]] '''Louisville Public Media''', is a [[non-profit organization]] that operates the three [[National Public Radio]] member stations in [[Louisville, Kentucky]]—news and talk [[WFPL]], [[classical music|classical]] [[WUOL-FM]], and [[adult album alternative]] [[WFPK]].

The current organization began in 1993, when the [[Louisville Free Public Library]], licensee of WFPL and WFPK, along with the [[University of Louisville]], which ran WUOL-FM, collectively transferred the licenses of the three stations to the community-licensed '''Public Radio Partnership'''. The organization has a board of directors which consists of three members appointed by the University of Louisville, four members appointed by the Metro Louisville government, 16 at-large members from the Louisville community including the chairman, and the organization's president.<ref>[https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101723545&formid=324&fac_num=69113 2016 FCC Ownership Report for WUOL/WFPK/WFPL]</ref>

It was the first public broadcasting organization (not counting state networks) to unite three radio stations under a single umbrella.<ref name=History>[http://louisvillepublicmedia.org/history/ LPM history]</ref> This move came amid the expansion of NPR programming in the 1990s. WFPL, long the flagship NPR station in Kentuckiana, found it difficult to make room on its schedule for both the new programming and the jazz, bluegrass, and blues music that had been a staple on the station for years.  At the same time, both WUOL and WFPK aired classical music in a market that was nowhere near large enough to support two classical music stations.<ref name=Voices>((cite news|url=http://www.louisvillemusicnews.net/webmanager/index.php?WEB_CAT_ID=49&storyid=9829|title=Voices for the City: The Public Radio Partnership|last=Roberts|first=Tim|publisher=Louisville Music News|date=1996))</ref> The two stations had in fact been competing for classical listeners since 1976, when UL launched WUOL. Even before then, WFPK had to contend with a commercial classical broadcaster, [[WAMZ|WHAS-FM]], from 1966 to 1975; that station was the sister of heritage AM station [[WHAS (AM)|WHAS]] and was mainly a civic service (it carried little or no advertising) by the [[Barry Bingham Sr.|Bingham family]], WHAS' owners then.

After two years of discussions leading to the Partnership's formation, the stations launched a major format overhaul that took effect on air on January 8, 1996. WUOL became the sole outlet for classical music in Louisville, in part due to its longstanding ties with UL's School of Music.  WFPL turned its focus to news and talk, ceding its entire recorded music inventory and most of its music-based programming to WFPK, which dropped classical entirely and eventually became a mostly Triple-A station, largely due to the decline in popularity of the genres WFPL featured earlier in its history.<ref name=Voices/>  In 2000, the stations jointly moved their operations to the former Electric Building in downtown Louisville.  Eight years later, the group changed its trade name to the current Louisville Public Media.

In 2013, Louisville Public Media created the '''[[Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting]]''' ('''KyCIR'''), a [[Non-profit journalism|nonprofit newsroom]] focused on [[investigative journalism]].
