Radio K is the branding used for programming that originates from the studios of KUOM, a student-run non-commercial educational station, licensed to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Programs include a wide variety of Independent and Alternative music, and feature specialty shows dedicated to Ambient, Post-Rock, Metal, Hip Hop, Vaporwave, Jazz, R&B, Electronic, Ska, Reggae, Punk, and World Music. The station specializes in promoting local musicians and produces local shows, including the award-winning Off The Record.
During daylight hours, Radio K programs are carried over KUOM, which is licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota and transmits at 770 kHz on the AM band. 24-hour service is provided by three low-power FM transmitters located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and the programming is also available over the Internet.
Radio K was named the "best radio station of the Twin Cities" in 2010, 2013, and 2015 by City Pages editors. It receives funding from a number of sources, including donations from listeners.
Radio K's primary station, KUOM on 770 AM, is limited to daytime-only operation, due to clear-channel restrictions that require it to remain off the air at night in order to avoid interfering with New York City's WABC and KKOB in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
