No other station captures the Austin Music Experience like KUTX 98.9 FM. What you'll hear is a hand-curated, alternative music mix with a local twist. Our hosts, aka DJ's, have more than 300 years on the radio combined--most of that in Austin. The music staff collaborates on picking the best songs, albums and artists from the great pool of talent that makes Austin the "Live Music Capital of the World." You'll be sure to discover new favorites and enjoy familiar tunes with us.
This new version of our app includes access to KUTX's HD channels--AMX and TMX. AMX is all Austin musicians and artists all the time. TMX streams all Texas musicians and songs 24/7. We've added the playlists for these additional channels as well as high-quality streams. We're providing an all digital, efficient stream using the AAC+ codec. It sounds great on all platforms, devices, radios and even over cellular. Tap in some headphones and have a listen.
We've also added some compatibility with Apple CarPlay. Plugging your phone into your car radio with USB engages CarPlay correctly. We're still working on the wireless way of doing this. The app does play well with Bluetooth in most car models as well.
It doesn't matter if you're in Austin, Texas, Minnesota, Alberta or Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, the KUTX app brings the Austin Music Experience to you in a clear, digital stream.
KUTX 98.9 Austin is a public radio station from The University of Texas. We broadcast from the Moody College of Communication on campus, bringing you the best of Austin music. We couldn’t do what we do without your continued support. Thanks for listening!

This app hasn’t seen any support or update in 7 years. Lacks features of modern IOS versions. Great radio station, hope they can add more support for this app. Would love to see an option for higher audio quality, better airplay support, and an option to stream recordings of their various shows.
Response from developer
You're not wrong Ace, it's been a very long time. We've finally got a new version coming soon. It won't be feature rich, but it's at least a step in the right direction. Adding an HLS stream and access to the show recordings is on the short list. Thanks for listening to KUTX.
