KERA (90.1 FM) is a National Public Radio affiliate station for North Texas. Based in Dallas, the station's main transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas with translators that serve Tyler (K261CW, 100.1 FM), the Sherman/Denison area (K257EV, 99.3 FM), and Wichita Falls (K202DR, 88.3 FM). It was also rebroadcast on the Public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable tv channel, (Irving Community Television Network ) during its off-air times prior to 2009. The station was established on July 11, 1974. The station's call letters, which are said to represent a "new ''era'' in broadcasting," are shared with Dallas public television station KERA-TV channel 13; both are owned by North Texas Public Broadcasting Inc., a non-profit corporation registered in the state of Texas. While there is cross-promotion between stations, each operates its own pledge drives. ==Programming format== KERA 90.1 produces topic driven local radio news programs, spot news and music programs mixed with national news, talk shows and radio magazine programs from sources that include National Public Radio (NPR), Public Radio International (PRI), American Public Media (APM) and the BBC World Service. It also rebroadcasts ''PBS NewsHour'' in audio format. Local programs include ''Think'', hosted by Krys Boyd, and ''CEO'', hosted by Lee Cullum. Jeff Whittington hosts the call in radio talk show ''Anything You Ever Wanted to Know''. ''Think'' and ''CEO'' also each have television versions, seen on KERA-TV. The station used to air the locally produced music program ''90.1 at Night'' hosted by Paul Slavens, which aired Sunday nights from 8:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. The program was moved to their newly acquired sister station KKXT and was renamed ''The Paul Slavens Show''. Since 2012, KERA has enjoyed a news partnership with NBC-owned television station KXAS-Channel 5 in Fort Worth. This is a part of a larger partnership effort between all of the NBC O&Os and nonprofit news organizations in their communities, a byproduct of the Comcast-NBCUniversal merger which took place in 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KERA (FM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
