We’re blushing! Thanks to readers of the The Austin Chronicle for naming us best Radio Station (KUTX 98.9), Best Online Media Outlet (KUT.org), Best Radio Program (“Texas Standard”), Best Radio or Podcast Host (Jerry Quijano) and Best Live Performance Journalism (ATXplained Live). We love this critic’s comments about ATXplained Live “No matter how long you’ve lived in Austin, KUT’s ATXplained will surprise you with something you didn’t know about our city.”

On June 30, Michael Crockett, longtime host of "Horizontes" on KUTX 98.9 (and previously on KUT 90.5) signs off after a staggering 35 years – marking the end of an era. Read Jeff McCord’s profile on Michael and tune into his remaining three shows, Sundays at 7 p.m. 

We loved hosting the Austin Young Chamber's June Coffee Connection on Wednesday morning. We enjoyed making new connections, talking about our work in the KUT Newsroom and giving a tour of the station. We're looking forward to the next one in November.
