History of PRIMA

PRIMA began in 1975 when representatives of 16 public radio stations in six states gathered to discuss directions for the emerging public radio system. Today, PRIMA has grown to include nearly 100 stations and associate members comprising one of the largest public radio regional organizations in the United States. The growth of Public Radio In Mid America reflects an awareness that responsive development of public radio regionally and nationally requires a united effort of the stations.
