History

On August 17, 2010, the University of Houston System announced its intent to purchase the broadcast tower, FM frequency and license of KTRU (91.7 FM) from Rice University. KUHF's 88.7 FM frequency would be converted to an all-news format (KUHF News) and the 91.7 frequency would contain classical music and fine arts programming (91.7 FM Classical), with the proposed call letters KUHA[1] (originally announced as KUHC, but those call letters were already in use).[2] The FCC approved the purchase and transfer of license to the University of Houston System on April 15, 2011,[3] and KUHA began broadcasting May 16, 2011.

Programming

Unlike most other classical stations, KUHA hosts select their own playlists from KUHA's 50,000 classical music CD library, one of the largest in the world. Because of this freedom, each live classical program on the station has its own unique flavor.

KUHA is the Houston home for Public Radio International's Classical 24, specifically its Music Through the Night overnight programming. It also broadcasts other nationally distributed programs commonly heard on classical music stations, such as From the Top, Performance Today and Pipedreams (which features organ music).

KUHA is the flagship radio home of the Houston Symphony; its broadcasts are heard on Wednesday evenings when in season.

Translator

Included in the purchase of KTRU was a broadcast translator that improved reception in the area near the campus of Rice University. The translator is currently silent.
