AZPM, also known as Arizona Public Media, is a non-profit organization headquartered in the US. Founded in 1959, the organization has approximately 140 employees. Functioning as a member-supported media entity of The University of Arizona, AZPM specializes in broadcast media production and distribution. It owns multiple broadcast properties and produces original local programming from its digital studios located on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.
On September 8, 2023, Arizona Public Media laid off six workers and left eleven open positions unfilled. The station's chief operating officer attributed this workforce reduction to financial pressures. Later, on October 26, 2023, further federal funding cuts resulted in the layoff of approximately 7% of the staff. In other news, a collaboration between AZPM News and AZ Luminaria, titled "Death Behind Bars," received a Public Media Award for News & Public Affairs Content from the National Educational Telecommunications Association.
