Cosmos FM

Cosmos FM, also known as New York 91.5 Hellenic Public Radio, is a Hellenic public radio station serving the Greek American community from Queens, New York. Broadcasting under the aegis of the Greek American Educational Public Information System, Inc. (GAEPIS), Cosmos FM plays an important role in preserving and promoting Hellenic heritage through public media, education, and community communication.

Founded through GAEPIS, a not-for-profit media and educational organization established in 1987, Cosmos FM was created to serve the needs of Hellenic Americans and to represent the diversity of the Greek American community. Through radio programming, cultural content, public information, music, interviews, and community-focused broadcasts, the station helps connect listeners with Greek language, culture, history, and contemporary community life.

Cosmos FM supports the visibility of Hellenic identity in the United States by using mass communication as a bridge between generations. Its programming reflects the values, interests, and voices of the diaspora while strengthening cultural continuity among Greek Americans.

With its commitment to education, public information, and heritage preservation, Cosmos FM remains a respected Hellenic media presence in New York and an important platform for Greek American culture, community news, and communication.

By providing quality coverage of issues and informative and educational programs in both English and Greek, GAEPIS seeks to address the needs of recent immigrants from Greece and Cyprus, Americans of Hellenic descent and Philhellenes.​

GAEPIS identified the medium of public radio as the most effective way to realize its goals.

Radio was chosen because it is widely and inexpensively accessed, and because it can meet the audience’s demand for the most up-to-date reporting of events.​Public radio is essential because it offers independence from advertisers or politicians who may otherwise attempt to influence or restrict the coverage of issues that concern our community.

This public channel exists solely to serve the interests of the community as a whole.

Hellenic Public Radio – COSMOS FM is the only daily, bilingual non-commercial Greek radio program in the New York Metropolitan Area.

HPR has over 5,000 supporting members and reaches over 200,000 Hellenic and non-Hellenic listeners each week.​

COSMOS FM provides 13 hours of programming per week, for a total of 676 annual hours of broadcasting time.
