About KUT 90.5 and KUTX 98.9
KUT 90.5 and KUTX 98.9 are public radio services that connect listeners to the news, stories and music that’s important to Central Texas. Our work is directly supported by a community of sustaining members, local businesses and foundations whose investments power the music, news and conversations that matter to Austin.
KUT, Austin's NPR station, delivers in-depth stories by and about people in Austin, for Austin, with the highest journalistic standards from a variety of thoughtful perspectives. A founding member of NPR, KUT News immerses you in the stories that matter – from your backyard to the other side of the world. “Texas Standard,” KUT’s one-hour daily news program heard on 23 public radio stations across the state, offers crisp, up-to-the-moment coverage of politics, lifestyle, the environment, technology, innovation and business — from a Texas perspective.
KUTX is your destination for new music from the artists who are driving the sound of Austin today – from new and local artists, to music that’s stood the test of time. Programming includes more than 300 live, one-of-a-kind performances in Studio 1A each year; the Austin Music Minute, the KUTX Artist of the Month and the KUTX Song of the Day, as well as KUTX Live events that connect music fans to local and national talent.
