K-UTE is a low power AM college radio station broadcasting on 1620 kHz to the campus of the University of Utah and surrounding areas. The station primarily plays music from independent artists and several student produced shows, which range from talk to different types of music sets. Along with its AM signal, the station can be heard on Channel 66 cable on campus, as well as online at its website. K-UTE also advertises a promotion for independent artists known as the "Pick -o- the Week" which is printed in the University's newspaper, The Daily Utah Chronicle. The station receives most of its music from the College Music Journal and from students themselves. As of 2088, the station is operating normally.

History

K-UTE has been broadcasting to the University of Utah since 1988. The station lost its "over the air" broadcast in 2005 when the nearby dormitories were taken down. In late 2007 and early 2008, a new antenna was constructed and in February of 2008, the station was once again broadcasting on its AM frequency.

The student government on campus (known as ASUU) cut the station's funding in 2007, and it is currently running on reserves only. ASUU has frequently stated that "nobody listens to the station."

In early 2007, a controversy over a sex hotline and vandalism of the studio led to the firing of two DJs hosting a popular show known as "Behind The Blue Door."

Methods of listening

K-UTE can be heard via three methods, most of them only on campus.
*U-TV, the cable network of the University of Utah carries the station on channel 66, with Powerpoint advertisements for the station and some of its shows.
*1620 AM, low power. The antenna and transmitter for the station is currently located on top of the language and communications building. The signal is weak in the residence halls on the east side of campus, but is stronger on lower campus, to the south, central, and west.
*Webcast - available via the station's website. The webcast was shut down in 2007 because of fees imposed by the Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA). Those fees have since been paid and the station is back online.
