Our Heritage

Nestled just northeast of downtown Livingston, Montana, stands the iconic Art‑Moderne radio station building that first brought KPRK to life on January 9, 1947. Designed by Missoula architect William Fox in 1946, the building is adorned with a faux broadcast tower and bold lightning‑bolt call letters. It’s a distinctive landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.

Founded by Paul McAdam of the Yellowstone Amusement Company, and later stewarded by the Hinmans and Bill Holter, KPRK quickly became the voice of Park County, featuring local news, high‑school sports, rodeos and the beloved “Swap Shop” live call‑in show.

Though its studios relocated to Bozeman over a decade ago, the original Livingston building remains an enduring symbol of mid‑century broadcast architecture and small‑town community spirit.

Current Restoration & Vision

In 2025, KPRK received a Montana Historic Preservation Grant to restore the station’s historic spire and adapt the site to include an outdoor amphitheater and community performance space.

Under the leadership of current owner Andrew Feltenstein, the project aims to revitalize the building not only as a historic landmark, but as a hub for local artists and public engagement: “We’re going to put the microphone up… the voice of the community.”

What We Do

KPRK is more than a historic radio station—we’re building a creative platform for today’s audiences and storytellers.

From our Livingston roots to our digital future, we work across multiple channels to bring people together through sound, performance, and media collaboration.

Our work includes:

  • Broadcasting original content on the internet, continuing the KPRK tradition with modern tools that let us reach listeners anywhere in the world.
  • Producing live events and radio-style programming, from on-site shows and community gatherings to audio experiences that blend storytelling, music, and interviews.
  • Hosting digital content online, offering an evolving library of broadcasts, podcasts, and performances to stream and explore.
  • Representing independent media clients in radio and digital broadcasting, providing support for ad sales, sponsorships, and business strategy for creators and partners alike.

This blend of tradition and innovation allows KPRK to serve as both a creative engine and a connective thread in Montana’s cultural landscape—and beyond.
