Historical ties to Public Radio International

Formerly, much of American Public Media's programming content was distributed by Public Radio International, which itself was formerly named American Public Radio (Network) until 01 July 1994. The former name of PRI (American Public Radio) and the current branding of APM (American Public Media) are apparently unrelated, despite their similarity. However, APR was formed by Bill Kling to distribute A Prairie Home Companion, but it was designed as a consortium of multiple public radio stations. In contrast to PRI, which both creates, produces, and distributes content, APM distributes predominantly content that it owns; the current exceptions are As It Happens and the BBC Proms.
