The University of Texas at Tyler has filed to purchase 99.7 KVUT Cuney TX from North Texas Radio Group for $120,000.
The former KOEE holds a CP to relocate to a University owned site in Bullard TX with 1.4kW/166.8m where it will add coverage of Tyler. The deal, which has been in the works for months, was first reported in the University’s student newspaper in March. At the time, the Patriot Talon reported that KVUT intends to launch around September 1 with a mix of NPR and APM produced content with News and Talk programming surrounded by Classical music during the day and Jazz at night.
The current Public Radio options in the Tyler/Longview market is the Louisiana State University Shreveport owned “Red River Radio” 100.7 KTYK Overton, which rimshots the market and KERA Dallas’ translator 100.1 K261CW Tyler.
