KCPW is a radio station in Salt Lake City, Utah which broadcasts programming from NPR, BBC, PRI as well as local programming. It broadcasts from a studio at Library Square at the Salt Lake City Public Library in downtown Salt Lake City.

It broadcasts at 1010 kHz AM, 88.3 MHz FM, and 105.3 MHz FM and is owned by Community Wireless of Park City. KCPW has a sister station in Park City, Utah: KPCW.

Originally only heard in the Salt Lake Valley on its FM frequencies, the station added its AM frequency in early 2005 in order to capture a larger audience. The 88.3 FM frequency also does not broadcast in stereo audio, as to accommodate radio receivers that do not have stereo capability.
