Autumn days at the Alpe di Siusi 🍂🍄

K*TX 98.9, a full-time music service broadcast from UT and streaming worldwide, is celebrating its 10th year on air with a birthday concert series and the release of a limited album. When it split from Austin NPR’s K*T in 2013, the vision was to reflect the Austin music scene.

Being a nonprofit, member-supported station allows K*TX more freedom than commercial radio. Programs such as “Artist of the Month” help rising musicians get discovered, and shows like “My K*TX” shine light on different corners of the music scene by bringing in guest DJs — past appearances range from Austin FC commentator Adrian Healey to Adriene Mishler from “Yoga with Adriene.”

“As we grew and sort of figured out who we are as a station, we all came to the realization that that archetypal Austin sound has more to it than what had been marketed to the world,” assistant program director Jacquie Fuller says. “There was hip-hop, there was R&B, there was soul, there was electronic, there was so much more to Austin music (than rock). We wanted to be reflective of that.”
