Press Release

As the pandemic hits the one-year mark and Texas lifts its COVID venue occupancy restrictions and mask mandate, season 2 of the “Pause/Play” podcast documents how Austin’s music industry navigates the recovery phase of the pandemic.

Not even a pandemic can stand in the way of celebrating the heartbeat of Austin – music. All February long, KUTX 98.9, The Austin Music Experience, will use its platform to shine the spotlight on the Austin music scene when it needs it most for Love Austin Music Month.

KUTX 98.9 celebrates Black History Month by spotlighting Black Austin musicians and music events.

KUT has removed "The Daily," a national podcast from the "New York Times," from our schedule. "All Things Considered" will now start 30 minutes earlier, at 3 p.m., until further notice.

The holidays may look a little different this year, but KUT and KUTX aren’t letting that get in the way of connecting people from all walks of life through the power of song. KUT 90.5, Austin’s NPR Station, and KUTX 98.9, The Austin Music Experience, invite the community to kick off the holidays at a virtual Holiday Sing-Along.
