“This move aligns with our core mission and allows us to reinvest in our academic programming,
offering more educational opportunities to students, particularly in our Department of
Communication,” Dean of UT Tyler College of Arts and Sciences Neil Gray said. “I want to thank the KVUT team, donors and listeners for their support.”
UT Tyler started broadcasting on KVUT back in 2021. Gray said they’re reinvesting the station’s resources to enhance their remaining communications degree programs.
“Reinvesting in our students is crucial for fostering the next generation of communicators,
journalists and media professionals,” Gray said. “By reallocating resources, we can enhance our
curriculum, provide cutting-edge technology and create hands-on learning experiences that prepare our students for the rapidly evolving media landscape.”
KVUT’s broadcast ended with ‘Take Five’ by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and the station’s hourly announcement at 5 p.m.
