We’re proud to serve as Big Day of Giving’s Visionary Media Partner — so we can help uplift all the nonprofits that make a positive impact in our community.
CapRadio is a mission-driven public media organization that exists to create more informed, involved and educated communities. We are the only nonprofit broadcaster in the region that operates a 20-person local newsroom and develops locally-produced news, classical music and jazz shows. We connect with communities through 32 radio broadcast towers, live streaming, newsletters, on-demand audio, live experiences and more.
CapRadio is recognized for our fact-based, nonpartisan news coverage, state politics and government accountability reporting that is aired daily by NPR stations throughout California, hyperlocal community-engaged journalism and locally-hosted classical music and jazz programs. Each week, nearly 500,000 people in the greater Sacramento region choose CapRadio as a valued source of news, storytelling, music and events.
At a time when public media faces a growing threat to its future and sustainability, everyone in the community can make a difference in keeping CapRadio’s trusted, respectful and informative news coverage accessible for all.

Our Audience and Reach
CapRadio exists to create more informed, involved and educated communities.
Local Journalism: Our local public service journalism plays an essential role in keeping Sacramento communities more informed, involved and connected to the issues and stories that matter most in their lives.
Insight with Vicki Gonzalez: Our flagship news-talk show provides valuable context and diverse perspectives on Sacramento's big events, politics and culture through in-depth interviews.
NPR: Flagship news shows like Morning Edition provide listeners with balanced, nuanced information and analysis that foster a deeper understanding of local, national and global events.
Music: CapRadio's classical music and jazz offer the region a unique listening experience from our locally-produced and locally-hosted shows.
SacramenKnow: Whether you live, work or play in Sacramento, this newsletter offers a more personal and digestible way to stay informed, involved and entertained in the region.
In order to strengthen the civic and cultural life of the communities we serve, CapRadio must reflect and represent those communities, their diverse perspectives and their unique experiences. We must continue to elevate the voices of those traditionally underrepresented and marginalized, share different thoughts and viewpoints and welcome authenticity.
To shape the future of CapRadio, we are committed to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in our work and thinking. As we continue this effort, we must look both internally and externally in order to make meaningful progress toward this goal.
We are working to create a thriving company culture that breaks down barriers, empowers staff and embraces varying perspectives. We are prioritizing efforts to understand our communities and their needs. We are building the infrastructure required to serve all our audiences better. And we are making advances in documenting our efforts to measure progress.
These steps are just the beginning. This is an ongoing process, and we recognize that we still have much to do. We know this work is essential to serving our communities, and we are grateful for your support as we continue on this journey.
