The Chico CA based North State Public Radio has hired Public Media Company to advise on a potential operations agreement with Sacramento based Capital Public Radio.

Should the deal come together, Capital Public Radio would provide programming, engineering and management services to the smaller group which is operated by Cal State University Chico. The groups are exploring the financial incentives of a deal with Public Media Company to allow NSPR to hire more reporters and utilize CapRadio’s resources to operate the stations, while CapRadio gets NSPR’s news coverage of the broad Northern California region served by NSPR.

NSPR is heard on 91.7 KCHO Chico, 88.9 KFPR Redding and a network of translators serving the northern parts of the state. Cap Radio operates two programming feeds across seven stations in northern and central California based at 88.9 KXPR and 90.9 KXJZ Sacramento.

Note both North State Public radio and Capital Public Radio are owned by California State University. Its more like Programming and News operations for North State Public Radio will be operated from Sacramento if proposal is done.

Cal State seems to be downsizing its commitment to radio. I've noticed a lot of changes taking place at KCSN in LA.

As far as I am aware of the majority of the donors to the Cal State owned Media Outlets are in Sacramento and San Diego where KXJZ, KXPR, KPBS-TV and KPBS-FM are located. I knew Cal State made cuts to the Eureka radio outlet though.

Unlike KHSU and KCHO, Cal State probably stays out of the affairs of Capital Public Radio and KPBS FM/TV
