Country 101: KASE ain't country. These Clear Channel…read moresellouts aren't playing Texas Country- it's a bunch of Nashville "country." The kind of country that is like putting beans in your chili. That ain't country. These guys sound more like pop music or contemporary. It's all about love and stuff, where country music is generally sorta the opposite- their songs don't have any mention of prison, mamma, trucks, or gettin' drunk. So many commercials! It all sounds so formulaic. There's no personality to this corporate radio station. I don't ever hear any local musicians on here. Messing up country music in the Live Music Capital of the World is like messing with Texas. Keep turning that dial...

You see, this was my favorite station when I lived in Texas, and after having visited Austin for the weekend, I decided to Yelp about it. It's not a "pure" local country station. It's corporate - part of Clear Channel. But I don't care... so long as it has good country music. (Corporations aren't bad just because they're successful at what they do.)I've been starved of my Country music since our bay area country station went off the air, so this was a breath of fresh air. To be honest, I prefer Tennessee Country to Texas Country (I know, shame on me,) and for those who don't know, most every one of the nationally known Country artists are Tennessee Country. You know, the ones that head to Memphis in search of stardom. Anyway I do miss the city. So I'll admit part of this review is nostalgia. But I had my radio tuned to KASE for my entire weekend... except for a short stint on some other country station that billed itself as Austin's own radio station, except after accidentally setting KASE to the preset that the other station was on, I couldn't find it again. Five stars for "will always listen to this when I'm in town. And will listen to it online whenever I need my country fix."

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!

But KUT also produces local content of their own that's worth hearing. I appreciate the Texas Standard that is recorded locally in cooperation with other major markets and focuses on issues and events around Texas, and the ATX Explains series is always an interesting way of looking in-depth at different quirks of the Austin area that you may have always wondered about. It was a pleasure getting a tour of the station recently and getting to see behind the scenes of their facility that was built about a decade ago to accommodate the growth and provide all the work spaces needed. It's amazing to see all the recording rooms, all the equipment that goes into making every broadcast, and just the sheer size of the news room. And the studio that can hold a small audience for live music broadcasts is brilliant. I may not always agree with every program, and I can wish for some more polish from the announcers over their folksy delivery, but I always find the content interesting and relevant. Outside of those excruciating public radio fund drives, I expect to be listening throughout the future!

If I saw a guy wearing those in a bar, I'd pass my wine through my nose.

Its a small crew of professionals who have mastered the materials. Spent a couple hours chatting with them and watched them perform their tasks at hand. After highlighting my concerns with our paper, it was apparent that needed to move over and let them take over our printing needs. Thank you Granite Publications for having us for the afternoon and see what you are all about. I'm ready for the upgrade. See you soon!
