KUUB

It is owned by the University of Utah and originates from the Eccles Broadcast Center on its campus, with a transmitter in the Oquirrh Mountains southwest of West Valley City.

The debt was refinanced in 2017, but lingering financial issues and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led Wasatch Public Media to put the license up for auction in 2023.

[5][2] In 2000, the transmitter moved from the University Park to the American Stores Tower (later the Wells Fargo Center), part of a major power increase for KCPW.

In March 2001, it dropped its daytime classical music programming to add a series of new NPR talk shows, many of which had previously been heard in Salt Lake City on KCPW.

[15] The Library Square studios, which featured large street-level windows allowing passers-by to see live broadcasts,[16] were one of several moves the station made during the short management tenure of Vicki Mann, who oversaw the acquisition of AM station KIQN (1010 AM) to add coverage of Northern Utah[15] and expanded the staff to eight people in her year running KCPW.

[18] Community Wireless of Park City was losing substantial amounts of money by the mid-2000s, largely due to the acquisition of KCPW AM,[a] with losses exceeding $600,000 in 2005 and $413,000 in 2006.

Wasatch Public Media struggled to find new lending support that would help it reduce its loan burden, even though its finances had improved[28] and its listenership increased.

[29] In June 2014, the station announced that it would need to raise $42,000 by July 3 in order to pay for its American Public Media programming; if the goal was not met, KCPW-FM would have closed down, with the money donated during the fund drive returned to the contributors.

[32] That same year, the station's transmitter moved up to the Oquirrh Mountains, which protected coverage previously provided by a translator at risk of being forced off the air.

[34] The brokerage listing preceded a formal announcement from Wasatch Public Media, which ascribed the decision to "the initial purchase price of the station, the recession that followed, and a global pandemic and its aftereffects".
