The complexity of the issues today call for having an unbiased, unfiltered and reliable source of information. In El Paso, that can only be found at KTEP. Now more than ever, your support is essential.
KTEP is recognized for its award-winning news and entertainment! Whether you’re listening to NPR national/international news or our own locally produced news stories or the best of jazz and classical music…you’re listening to the best public radio has to offer. No other local television or radio station can provide this!
Raise Your Pick Giving Day is your opportunity to join the thousands of others taking the time to give generously to your public radio station—KTEP. Approximately one-third of our operating budget is provided by donations from our listeners, which means Every Gift Counts towards our ability to provide your favorite programming.
The KTEP staff thanks you for your generosity. We are “Your NPR Station for the Southwest.”
KTEP is licensed to The University of Texas at El Paso and is operated as a public service to the region. While UTEP provides substantial support to cover the costs of salaries, utilities, and facilities, the University does not provide funding for radio programming as part of the station's yearly budget. KTEP relies on additional funds from donations to help purchase your favorite programs. All gifts made to KTEP are processed and receipted by the University.
In addition to KTEP, the UTEP College of Liberal Arts is seeking support for the following areas on Raise Your Pick Giving Day:
| Rank | State | Gifts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | TX | 64 |
| 2 | NM | 5 |
| 3 | FL | 1 |
