KUAF was founded in January 1973 by the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. The idea came from the university's desire to create a radio station for educational purposes and to serve the local community. Initially, it was a student-run operation with a staff of twenty-five students and a faculty advisor, Dennis O'Neal, from the Department of Journalism. The station began as a ten-watt broadcaster, serving as a training ground for students. Today, KUAF is owned and operated by the University of Arkansas and is affiliated with National Public Radio (NPR).KUAF, based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, covers a wide range of news and programming, including local and national news, politics, sports, arts, and culture.
