Comments (0) Best Radio Station - 2006

KTRU/91.7 FM

Readers' Choice: KPFT/90.1 FM
Somewhere on the dial, among the Blue October and Laura Ingraham, there's a little college radio station pumping out 50,000 watts of pure uncommercialized goodness. From the excellent MK Ultra DJ sets every Friday night to the generally upbeat morning drive, Rice University's KTRU gives Houston the very thing most other radio stations lack: quality. The kids cutting their teeth on indie rock, hip-hop and electro manage to pull off a better radio station than Clear Channel could ever dream up.

Is there any way possible to get your station play zydeco longer than a couple of hours on Saturday? I really enjoy your station. I have told so many people about your station. We wish it was longer on Saturday.
