BYU-Idaho Radio operates as a digital-first media laboratory under the Department of Communication at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg. The organization functions as an NPR member station and provides a professional platform for student journalists to produce daily hyper-local news coverage for Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming. Key programming includes the Morning Headlines series, which offers concise daily updates to the local student and resident population, and the long-form podcast The Spot, focusing on campus life and student interests. As an affiliate of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the station serves as a primary distribution point for devotional addresses and coverage of global events like RootsTech. Recent expanded coverage focuses on the 2026 legislative session and regional environmental research with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. This outlet provides values-driven news and religious commentary that supports the university’s educational mission while acting as an essential information link for the Upper Valley community.
