KUOI-FM (89.3 FM) is a free–form, college radio station at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. KUOI is headquartered on the third floor of the Bruce Pitman Center (the former Student Union Building) at Sixth and Deakin streets, on the northeast edge of campus.

The station began operating in 1945,[2][3] and began FM programming 23 years later in 1968, officially starting on Sunday, November 17.[4][5]

KUOI began broadcasting in 1945 as an AM station with a two-watt transmitter at 655 kHz. It moved to 660 kHz at five watts in 1947; with the move to FM, it went to ten watts in 1968 at 89.3 MHz.[6] It boosted up to fifty watts and stereo in 1977,[7][8] and to 400 watts in January 1995.[6][9]
