What is KOOP?
KOOP is a community radio station owned and operated by its members.
Any member of the community can apply to produce a radio program, and
KOOP provides facilities and training. KOOP has about 60 different locally-produced
programs airing every week, in time slots of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.
Each of these programs is produced by an individual member or by a collective
of members. KOOP provides a diverse array of programming, emphasizing
programs that deal with local issues and/or serve communities which are
under-served by the mainstream media. We generally schedule music programs
during the day, and news/public affairs programs in the late afternoon.

KOOP's Mission
The mission of the Corporation is to provide high quality, innovative, and diverse community- oriented programming to Austin with an emphasis on those communities that are ignored or underserved by mainstream media; including serving and promoting specific communities of African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Chicanas/os, elders, gays, lesbians, homeless, immigrants, Indigenous peoples, Latinos/as, peoples with disabilities, women, working and poor people, youth, and other underserved communities. KOOP Community Radio supports the struggle for social justice and peace. KOOP Community Radio will operate with a high level of participation and accountability to the communities being served.
KOOP and KVRX
We share the 91.7 frequency with KVRX the University of Texas student
radio station. KOOP broadcasts Monday through Friday from 9am-7pm, and
weekends from 9am-10pm. When we're not on the air, KVRX takes over. So,
it's KOOP during the day and KVRX at night.
