KHVU (91.7 FM, "Vida Unida 91.7") is a non-commercial radio station in Houston, Texas.
The studios and offices are on Treble Drive in Humble, Texas, near Bush Intercontinental Airport, and the transmitter is located off Sorters McClellan Road in Porter.
Rice sold the station in 2010 to the University of Houston, which ran it as classical music outlet KUHA.
On August 17, 2010, the University of Houston announced its intent to purchase KTRU's tower, frequency and license from Rice.
The 91.7 frequency would give classical music and fine arts programming a full-time outlet, with the proposed call sign KUHA.
The student-run KTRU programming was transferred to the HD2 subchannel of local Pacifica Radio member station 90.1 KPFT.
When the classical format moved to KUHF-HD2, the agreement with the Houston Symphony remained in place and its broadcasts are now heard on KUHF-HD2.
With the impending sale, KUHA dropped almost all references to the 91.7 frequency in May and rebranded itself as Houston Public Media Classical, running advertisements for the digital streams of the format to redirect listeners.
It began airing prerecorded announcements that the station had ceased broadcasting and redirected listeners to the digital streams.
KXNG returned to the air two weeks later on August 1, 2016, stunting with a varied playlist of secular dance music under the branding K-Dance.
At 6:00 AM on August 8, 2016, the stunting ended, and the NGEN Radio format made its debut with a launch party that was simulcast on KSBJ.
On September 16, 2021, Hope Media Group announced that NGEN Radio would be moved exclusively to digital distribution on its website and app on November 8, at which point a new, undisclosed format would launch on KHVU.
[11] The NGEN format ceased broadcasting on KHVU on November 8, at which point the station began airing messages both redirecting NGEN's listeners to digital platforms and promoting the upcoming Vida Unida format, which debuted at 6:00 AM on November 10.
Included in the purchase of KTRU was an FM translator that improved reception in the area near the campus of Rice University.
