While its sister station [[KBYI]] focuses mainly on local and national news, KBYR is more focused on religious content. Broadcasts primarily contain music by [[Christians|Christian]] artists, talks by leaders from [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], and live broadcasts of the weekly devotional on the BYU-Idaho campus. |
|||
Content for the stations’ programs is derived, planned, and produced by BYU-Idaho students in an effort to provide them with real-world educational opportunities. Approximately 20 students work for BYU-Idaho Radio each semester, learning skills from audio engineering to live news production.<ref name=":0" /> |
