Kustra is an experienced broadcaster, having hosted his own program at Eastern Kentucky University, where he previously served as president. Prior to that, he declined an offer to host an afternoon talk show on WLS in Chicago, where he was serving as Illinois’ lieutenant governor. In his first State of the University address to faculty and staff on Monday, Kustra said, “My guests will be newsmakers, dignitaries, authors, faculty, staff and students discussing important issues of the day. The goal is high-quality, interesting radio. But the most important outcome, I hope, will be to showcase Boise State in yet another venue as a metropolitan research university of distinction, and to enhance our reputational currency.” “We are excited about this addition to our programming,” said NPR News 91 program director Jim East. “Dr. Kustra has a wonderful on-air presence and New Horizons in Education will help us by providing a locally produced talk show that helps us connect even more directly to the region.” NPR News 91 is a service of Boise State Radio and Boise State University.   NPR News 91 is heard on KBSX, 91.5 FM Boise; KBSY, 88.5 FM Burley; KBSJ, 91.3 FM Jackpot; and KBSQ, 90.7 FM McCall.  Boise State Radio includes NPR News 91, KBSU – Arts and Cultural Programming, and Idaho’s Jazz Station.
