Local community radio! This non-profit radio station, 91.7…read moreFM is a cool, refreshing change from all the main stream radio stations. The station is like Austin- weird. Listening to this station, is the soundtrack to keeping Austin Weird. Since it's all local volunteers, the music selections are as diverse as the music tastes in the Live Music Capitol of the World! Seriously, if you don't like the music here, just wait a little bit. Just like the weather in Texas! The DJs change out every few hours, and each one brings their own selection of weird music. You're not going to hear Top 40 on here. I like the fact that there's no real advertisements on this station. They're all public service announcements, and local issues that they talk about. The coolest thing about this station is that if you wanna get on the radio badly enough, they'll put you on the air, and provide the training on how to do it! KOOP's mission is "to engage, connect and enrich the whole community, including the underserved, through creating diverse, quality, educational music and news programming." They fulfill their mission!

I love that the songs are listed and there's a record of it so I can go back to see the title of songs I enjoyed in the moment. I really appreciate this station I listen to it online, right now dj kroc just talked about how maybe nobody's listening bc I think it's pretty late on the usa and I wanted to leave a review somewhere. I am listening ! and I love it thank you I listen online and I also love looking up the shows afterwards, the best when I don't catch a show live is when they're on mixcloud so I can get the full experience but if not I go to the spotify playlists or just put the songs in the order they're listed in on my spotify. so yeah, thank you kvrx!!! I wish there were college radios in my country I think they're the coolest thing and out of every college radio I've listened to online KVRX is my most favorite

Playing none of the hits, all of the time! This student-run…read moreradio station serves The University of Texas (Go Longhorns!) It seems that they have to share their broadcast with Austin community radio, KOOP. But this station does the student body well- if you're a UT student, you can get on the air if you're interested! They'll train ya, and get you spinnin' vinyl in no time- you don't even need to be a broadcast major or anything! Got some good tunes to share? Sign up! The station is a community non-profit, so there's no advertisements like other stations, just the occasional public service announcement reminding you not to drink bleach or to register to vote. Informative stuff! They sometimes do special programs on this station, that are always interesting. They have an upcoming program on how to do a kickflip. Hard hitting! Ideally, this would be a good station to tune in at work, since you'll rarely hear the same song twice. I always hate listening to muzak or top 40 hits on repeat, which you'll never hear on this station. Tune in, turn on!

No longer an Americana station. Much of the playlist sounds alike - sappy pop.read more

Best radio station in Austin but that jus my humble opinion. I like almost everything out there…read more Even classical. Most all jazz. I love music isnt that what matters.

Bob and the crew at KOKE have put country music back on the radio here in Austin…read more So good to hear songs that you can understand and to listen to a station that lets listeners call in to share opinions on the air. Those other two stations that refer to themselves as country are part of clear channel and whoever is running clearchannel needs to go back to marketing or buisness school. Letting Bob Cole walk away from KVET is akin to draining Barton Springs, filling it with concrete and turning it into a parking lot. And "firing" Sammy - another example of shooting yourself in the foot. That whole thing could have been handled so much better. Clear channel is an oxymoron.

Get on KOKE! This station plays both kinds of music-…read moreCountry AND Western! This Texas country radio station represents the local country music scene well. They play a lot of commercials, but do some good programming. Their country is less Nashville, and more Austin, highlighting artists from the Texas area. They play a lot of the classic country as well. The DJs take requests and give local weather and traffic updates throughout the day. The radio presentation is slick and professional, with nationally airing ads played regularly. They also hold the annual KokeFest, a celebration of KOKE. It's some big country bands! I enjoy how many of their songs are about drinking beer, trucks, and prison.

It's a community-based (listener supported) radio station that plays Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Modern Contemporary, Reggae, talk shows, and so on. It's really such a fantastic local station. Since they're located within the ACC Highland Campus where I work, I have had the ability to visit for various events, tours, etc. The folks who work there are incredible. It's a really nice studio/office-modern and welcoming. Very professional.

I…read morehave lived here for 4 years and I hear a lot of the locals talk about how over the years this is been a jewel for Austin. They have a variety of programming depending on your taste. I have seen a lot of very famous people come by and I have seen them bring in a local talent. They even play local musicians on their radio station, can you imagine getting your big break especially in your hometown? I am able to get this station through their website and the TuneIn app. The 24/7 programming will give a good variety of music no matter your desire.

Was it fun growing up emulating Back To The Future, and were you surprised how long it took for Don Trump to get elected? Here's another idea.. go look in a mirror right now, go associate yourself with the other 300 billion people on the planet that don't "look like" you, and see if that conscious thought allows your other synapses to have a little moment known as "surprise" or "learning" or "awareness"? You know.. Guess what ? I'm a white guy! Yeah, and your comment is highly ignorant, small-minded, and self-centered. Wanna know especially why?... Cause you posted it online, you crass phony lil porcelain bowl. I see your 5s! Another weak white route to maintain "decorum" while you bitched publicly about the one little thing that didn't fit your mold. I hope you create something, and someone rudely shoots that sh$t down. I hope you put in time and effort and your heart and concerns of life into an art project, to be dismissed as useless because your creation is unfamiliar to some... Have you LISTENED to the lyrics of Black Kennedy?... It's a testament, it's positive, it's vulnerable. Welcome to Austin, however long you've lived here. Let others share a vision of art and expression that resonates with them, as ALL the DJs at KUTX play, and then go smile, settle down, and hug a person you don't even know. Good nite to you.

Ron U. (Disco Duck) and Larry E (El Toro Brovo). They are funny as shit and you can chat live with them and request some tunes. I can't name many Tejano bands, but, that's where Google comes in. I've just recently discovered that I actually like La Mafia! They're playing it right now!! It's clear that our two Yelpers come here and have a good ass time. Not sure what goes on in the studio but they appear to get drunk or get the munchies (ahem) and cut up and play some really good stuff including occasional disco. Yep disco and other stuff. You don't need to know how to speak Spanish or even Spanglish for that fact to enjoy the broadcast. I love all kinds of music and while living here in Texas I have grown quite fond of Tejano. But, like I said I need Google. Now I have Google and the Disco Duck and wild man Larry E. I love listening to their shows and try to catch them on their usual Friday afternoons. Keep up the good work drunk mofo's ( :) ). P.S. I think they get paid with booze and food? P.S.S. You never know what you're going to hear coming through the mic! Flatulence is not off limits!! Just sayin'.

Always on the lookout for new Tejano stations. This one is saved on my favoritesread more

Austin City Limits Radio! It takes a lot of work to be the…read moreACL sponsored radio station in the live music capital of the world. These guys do a good job of spinnin' those discs and jamming those vinyl records. Being that they're an Austin City Limits radio station, that doesn't limit them to one genre of music. ACL music series- the show, and the concert series have had music all over the map. So if you say that you're an ACL radio station, you can really get away with playing just about anything, there's gotta be some way that every major artist is somehow associated with either the show or the concert series. If you don't like the genre of music, just like the weather in Texas, just give it a few minutes, and it'll change. I do get sick of the number of commercials that these guys play.

I finally had to switch over to Sirius XM for my morning drive. Although Deb could be annoying, she was at least marginally entertaining. And losing Jason Dick, what a shame.

I'll pop in to 101X now and again in the future to see if it's improved any and I hope it does. Seems like we've witnessed the death knell of 101X in real time. It sincerely makes me sad.
