Butte Broadcasting Inc. is the only locally-owned and operated collection of radio stations based in Butte, Montana. Ron and Shelly Davis purchased the business from the late Shag Miller in 1994, and have continued the tradition of hometown radio at its finest. While many radio stations across the country have turned to easy sell formats and computer employees, Butte Broadcasting and KOPR have committed to bringing our listeners their favorite music with live hometown announcers.
Our goal at KOPR is to serve the local area we call home by being involved in the community at the deepest levels; from helping our friends in need to raising public awareness, providing talent for events to lending hands to get things done. We welcome you to our family and hope you’ll take the time to explore what hometown radio is! Call us and chat!
