Around The Station

Ticket for KUT News’ ATXplained Live performance at the Paramount go on sale August 12.

Our new podcast, “KUT News Now,” is the quick and effortless way to catch up on local news – whenever you want.

While our twice-yearly membership drives get the lion’s share of attention, our membership team is hard at work year-round - even during the dog days of summer.

Terry Foxx joined us in February as KUT’s director of programming and audience. He’s responsible for KUT’s programming and sound (think station IDs at the top of the hour), our podcast strategy (stay tuned for a daily news podcast later this summer) and growing our audience – especially among historically underserved Central Texans.

KUT and KUTX will be at the Juneteenth Park Festival at Rosewood Park. Stop by our booth between noon and 5 p.m. to share your story ideas, connect with staff, win prizes and learn more about public service.

A few programming changes are coming your way to not only keep you better informed, but to give our afternoon schedule the agility to be more responsive to breaking news.

The Austin Chronicle "Best of Austin" awards were announced last week and once again KUT 90.5 was named “Best Radio Station.” This makes KUT the second-place all-time winner with 65 wins over the years.

The KUT newsroom is celebrating the recognition of the work of the KUT News and “Texas Standard” teams with nine regional Edward R. Murrow Awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA).

Join KUT News transportation reporter Nathan Bernier and a panel of local leaders to discuss transportation and affordability in Austin.

Morning drive-time KUT and KUTX listeners will recognize Lauren Terrazas as the voice behind the “Morning Edition” local newscast, reporting on the latest local and statewide news headlines during breaks between national news on NPR.
