KUOP

The station is currently owned by California State University, Sacramento and is part of the news network of CapRadio (formerly Capital Public Radio).

[2] The Federal Communications Commission approved the application on June 27, 1946, and KCVN began broadcasting on September 22, 1947, at 7 p.m.[3] (The KCOP call letters were held by a police facility in Texas which showed no interest in giving them up.

[15] By 2000, however, KUOP, along with most of the university's auxiliary services,[5]: 386  operated at a loss; the station recorded annual deficits sometimes exceeding $300,000 and had been subsidized by the UOP general fund for more than a decade.

[16] In August 1998, in an attempt to boost funding, KUOP radically changed its music format from classical to Americana and increased its talk output, a move that drew the ire of some listeners and did not bring in enough new fundraising dollars to offset the support that was lost.

[15][16] On May 30, 2000, KUOP and Capital Public Radio of Sacramento announced that the University of the Pacific would enter into an agreement for CPR to take over operations of the Stockton station.
