KOOP Radio 91.7 FM
AUSTIN'S COMMUNITY RADIO SINCE 1994
SUPPORT COMMUNITY RADIO!
KOOP Radio doesn’t happen by accident.
It exists because people here care about discovery, about voices that don’t fit neatly into boxes, and about radio that still feels human. Every hour on KOOP is shaped by volunteers, musicians, thinkers, and listeners who believe this kind of space matters.
If KOOP adds something real to your days, this might be a good moment to support it. A donation helps keep this weird, thoughtful, community-made station right where it belongs: on the air.

The show focuses on Southern Soul of the ’60s and early ’70s, before black music became a strictly urban format.
