About WUKY NPR Rocks Radio
WUKY NPR Rocks Radio is the streaming home of 91.3 FM, a public radio station that has served Lexington, Kentucky, since 1947. That makes it one of the oldest FM broadcast voices in the state, with a story stretching back long before the internet made listening easy.
In its early decades, the station grew alongside the University of Kentucky, using a transmitter and frequency that reached listeners across the Bluegrass region. Over time, it moved from college programming into a full NPR member station, trading classic rock and album cuts for news, talk, and public affairs.
A Legacy Built on Local News
Today, the station blends national shows like Morning Edition and All Things Considered with homegrown reporting on Kentucky politics, horse country culture, and Appalachian music. Local news from the WUKY newsroom covers Lexington city government, education, and health stories that bigger outlets often skip. And its archives hold decades of recorded Kentucky history, from oral interviews to classic live sessions.
- Frequency: 91.3 FM across Central Kentucky
- Licensee: University of Kentucky
- Format: NPR news, talk, and music
- Streaming: live online around the clock
But the station is more than a broadcast signal. It is a daily companion for commuters on New Circle Road, a background voice in kitchens and workshops, and a trusted source during Kentucky storms. Its HD radio signal and web stream keep listeners connected whether they drive through Lexington or live far from home.
For anyone curious about the Bluegrass State, WUKY NPR Rocks Radio offers an honest, thoughtful window into Kentucky life, one broadcast at a time. It endures.
