Well, we're old. WUKY, where NPR Rocks @ 91.3, was the first university-owned FM radio station in America, and Kentucky's first public radio station. We hit the air in October, 1940. We're licensed to the University of Kentucky, and serve Lexington, and much of Kentucky, with 100,000 watts. We also stream our signal to the world, at www.wuky.org. In early 2007, we became the first Lexington radio station to broadcast in HD, high definition, digital radio.
WUKY airs an amazingly diverse schedule. Our news comes from NPR and our own newsroom. There's humor, arts, and culture here too.
We are a Triple A (also known as Adult Rock or Progressive Music) station, airing that format nearly 60 hours per week. We report to Friday Morning Quarterback's non-commercial Triple A panel. Our specialty music shows encompass women's music, Americana, blues, and more.
WUKY is supported in large part by its membership: listeners who regularly give their financial support to the station.
