Download for 1st time using Android/Google Play. Live in San Marco's. Get great reception in car but not on house radio, so trying to live stream. I got KUT-FM installed on my phone, but unable to find any access except for reading. Any ideas.? I'm sure it's me or my device, but very frustrated.

I love KUT but this is a terrible app. Turns on randomly. Freezes. There is no way to exit once it starts playing an ad! I have to uninstall it sometimes just to keep it from opening and playing randomly.

Unlike other NPR apps, for example, WGBH, WBUR, and WAMU, this app will play KUT all night. It does not stop after four hours. I like it that the station is still there in the morning.

I've used this app for a couple of years now and it's always had this problem. When I click on a notification, the app opens along with the story in a new tab in my web browser. I can read the story in the app, Y U OPEN BROWSER?!?

Awesome app. It distills all the news into easily accessible data and lets users choose specifically what to listen to or you can just turn on the broadcast and let'r go!...

Stops frequently for no obvious reason. This app is good for reading some local news, but for listening to KUT I use the NPR One app.

About this app

No other Austin station brings you national and local news like KUT 90.5 FM. KUT is more than just Austin’s NPR Station. Our listeners can tune in 24 hours a day for news and information from NPR, PRI, the BBC and our own newsroom. Staples like Morning Edition and All Things Considered from National Public Radio, plus programs like The World from Public Radio International and BBC News Hour bring global perspectives, and award-winning local news from KUT's reporters are all in the palm of your hand. Download, tune in, and listen wherever you may be.

This new version of our app focuses on two things--a high-quality stream and the program schedule. We've thrown a couple other things in there too, but this is what our listeners have asked for most. 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 or plug your phone and have a listen.

If you're also a fan of KUTX -- The Austin Music Experience or our spin on Latin rock, Alt Latino, please download the individual versions of those apps as well. Similar features, and the same great audio. We've separated the apps so we can bring better and different features to each in the future.

And if you're still using the legacy KUT app, the white one with blues and yellows, please switch to this version and delete the old one. We'll be turning it off this summer along with the low-bitrate streams it only supports, going back to the days when the cellular networks could barely handle 24 kbps streams.

KUT 90.5 FM is a public radio station from The University of Texas. We broadcast from the Moody College of Communication in the Belo Center for New Media on campus, bringing you 24-hour news and information from NPR, PRI, the BBC & KUT News. We couldn’t do what we do without your continued support. Thanks for listening!
