NCAA Men's Basketball Championship

It's the Jayhawks vs the Wildcats as Kansas and Kentucky meet in college basketball's championship game tonight in New Orleans. The matchup features the two winningest programs in college basketball history. 91.5 KANU is the flagship station of Kansas Public Radio based at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. They signed on the air in 1952 and later became the first noncommercial FM station to broadcast in stereo. They are also charter members of National Public Radio. Stickers from KJHK, the University of Kansas' student-run station, can be seen here.

Broadcasting from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, WUKY mixes Adult Album Alternative music with programming from NPR. 91.3 FM first went on the air in 1940 (as WBKY) and was the first university-owned station in the United States. They switched their call letters to WUKY in 1989 to better reflect their affiliation with the (W)University of KentuckY.
