WGLT

Mission

WGLT is Bloomington-Normal’s Public Media in the NPR Network broadcasting on-air at 89.1 FM and online at WGLT.org.  

We are McLean County’s leader in local news. We provide the highest quality national and international news from the NPR Network and also shine a light on local music, arts, and culture programming.

WGLT champions independent nonprofit journalism as our public service duty with on-air and digital content freely available to all who want it. WGLT is a training ground for the School of Communication journalists of tomorrow who intern in every facet of our news operation as we lead with the understanding that independent journalism is the foundation of a thriving democracy.

We operate at the center of our community from the campus of Illinois State University, and we are committed to facilitating an ongoing dialogue that educates and challenges our audience.
