The San Antonio Express-News highlighted KRTU 91.7 FM as the station prepares to celebrate 50 years of student-led music at Trinity University. The station, which first signed on Jan. 23, 1976, began as a hands-on learning lab for students, offering wide-ranging classical programming, before evolving into one of Texas’s most respected jazz stations in 2002.
The story emphasizes that KRTU’s success is driven by its students, staff, and community volunteers who have shaped the station across five decades. General manager JJ Lopez and content director Bria Woods are among the current leaders carrying that legacy forward through signature programs. KRTU will ring in its golden anniversary with a free concert featuring Texas jazz vocalist and Grammy-nominated artist Jazzmeia Horn at the Carver Community Cultural Center. Doors open for the free public event at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23. Read the full story here.
