WSUI
WSUI (910 AM) is a public radio station in Iowa City, Iowa, in the United States. It is operated by the University of Iowa and a member of Iowa Public Radio's news network. Its signal serves most of eastern Iowa. WSUI is one of two National Public Radio member stations serving eastern Iowa, the other being KUNI in Cedar Falls. It is a sister station to all-classical KSUI.
WSUI got its start prior to the era of broadcast radio, operating a "wireless telegraph" transmitter under the experimental radio call sign 9YA in 1911. It began airing regular voice broadcasts in 1919. It was granted a full license on June 26, 1922 as WHAA, becoming WSUI in 1925. It is the oldest educational station west of the Mississippi River. It was one of several AM stations opened by Midwestern universities in the early days of radio.
The studios were located for many years in the University's Engineering Building. They were relocated to a former supermarket building south of campus in the late 1990s, when expansion of the College of Engineering required WSUI and KSUI to vacate their space in the Engineering Building.
