KUHF

KUHF (88.7 FM) (branded as News 88.7) is a public radio station serving Greater Houston metropolitan area.

This studio would host both stations for the next 35 years, until the move across campus to the current Melcher Center for Public Broadcasting in 2000.

In 1970, the station began the new decade by switching frequencies to 88.7 Megahertz, in order to reduce interference with KLYX (now KMJQ).

KUHF began airing classical music during the day and late night jazz from 10 pm to 5 am, with NPR news in the morning and afternoon drive time hours.

Since May 2011, 88.7 is exclusively devoted to news and public affairs; to this end, programs such as Fresh Air, Talk of the Nation and The Diane Rehm Show were added to the regular daytime schedule.

In addition, KUHF airs many public radio staples, such as Car Talk and A Prairie Home Companion.

Non-news entertainment programming, such as Snap Judgment, A Prairie Home Companion and the radio version of America's Test Kitchen, airs on weekends.

In August 2015, The University of Houston System announced its intention to sell KUHA and move the classical format to the HD2 subcarrier of KUHF and internet streaming only.
