WVPE statement on Garrison Keillor

The Writer’s Almanac and rebroadcast episodes of The Best of A Prairie Home Companion will no longer be heard on WVPE.

Following allegations of inappropriate behavior against Garrison Keillor, Minnesota Public Radio and American Public Media are severing ties with Keillor. MPR’s weekly music and variety show with host Chris Thile will continue broadcast but will be renamed.

 

Allegations were brought to the attention of MPR last month and relate to time when Keillor was in charge of production for Prairie Home. A statement from MPR says it has retained outside counsel to investigate the allegations. That investigation is ongoing.

 

We will endeavor to keep listeners up to date as the investigation continues.
