KUAF Is Moving to Downtown Fayetteville

KUAF, our local National Public radio affiliate at 91.3 fm, will soon be moving to a new home on the northwest corner of South School and Mountain Street, across from the Fayetteville Public Library’s main entrance. This is another positive development for Downtown Fayetteville.

The move is also a good one for the station, which will be almost twice the size and have decent parking for employees, volunteers, and guests. The purchase of the vacant building at 9 South School for $495,000 is on the agenda for the UA Board of Trustees next month, and that group of wealthy Razorback athletic supporters rubber stamps whatever academic or administrative matter is put before it (unless it happens to affect eligibility of athletes or text messages of coaches). Of course, the UA Administration won't provide any funds from that billion dollars they are sitting on. KUAF will be expected to raise $1.5 million for purchase and renovation of its new studio, so get ready to dig deep and cough up donations to make this a reality.

I love me some KUAF. Ozarks at Large is the best thing going for inquiring minds, even better than the NPR news and commentary. Best music, too, including The Pickin' Post with Mike Shirkey, The Folk Sampler with Mike Flynn, Shades of Jazz with Robert Ginsburg, and Classical Music with PJ Robowski. Thanks to Rick Stockdell, Kyle Kellams, Jacqueline Froelich, and everyone who makes this happen for our community!
