Listener Survey Results and Fund Drive Performance

Listener Survey Results

NFCB TechSurvey 2025

In November 2025, nearly 4,000 core Community Radio listeners participated in the 2025 Public Radio Techsurvey (PRTS) by the National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB) and in conjunction with the Jacobs Media and Public Media Content Collective. KPFA was one of 33 U.S. Community Radio stations that participated and the survey was available to our listeners for 6 days, from November 18th to the 23rd. The goal of the second annual NFCB PRTS 2025 is to guide Community and Public Radio stations to better understand the following:

  • Perceptions on Community and Public Radio’s levels of trust and transparency.
  • Insights on how audiences engage with radio to discover music and their use of digital platforms and devices.
  • Perceptions around station fundraising, including pressure points.
  • Insights into public radio’s role in providing local news and community information.
