NORTHWEST PUBLIC RADIO 03/15 148019 Year in Review In FY 2014, Northwest Public Radio made significant progress toward long-term strategic goals. Reviewing the year’s successes, it’s notable that many highlights of the year involved young people: young performers, young listeners and young radio professionals. Northwest Public Radio connected listeners to From the Top, an NPR program that shines a spotlight on outstanding young musicians. NWPR hosted From the Top in Tacoma with the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts in April, where seven artists, all 18 years old or younger, gave outstanding performances. Northwest Public Radio’s newest station went on the air in Pullman with a new program stream and a college-student staff in November.
