KUOI Celebrates 35th Year On the Air KUOI-FM began as a project for engineering students and stands today, 35 years later, as a 50-watt non-commercial educational station (as regulated by the FCC). It is managed and staff by University of Idaho students of diverse majors, from freshmen to PhD. candidates, who share a common interest in radio. The station has a nationwide reputation among those involved in college radio and the record industry for its unique blend of programming (everything from classical to rock) and its presentation of an alternative to commercial-filled, hyped-up, Top 40 radio. A nationally syndicated radio program originating in San Francisco featured KUOI during one of its hour- long segments in the fall of

1980.

The station publishes a program guide monthly to inform listeners of the regular fare and special upcoming programs.
