KNTU 88.1 FM is a noncommercial, student-operated indie alternative radio station owned by the University of North Texas and licensed to McKinney, Texas, with studios on the UNT campus in Denton. Transmitting from a tower on university-owned land in north Denton, the station’s signal delivers strong coverage across the northern Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex — reaching Denton, McKinney, Frisco, Plano, and well into the heart of DFW. Listeners can tune in on 88.1 FM or stream live online at 881indie.com around the clock, with no commercials and no corporate ownership — just independent music selected by UNT students.

The weekday format revolves around three core programming blocks: the Morning Show from 6 to 10 a.m., a midday Regular Show from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the Afternoon Show from 3 to 7 p.m. — all staffed by student DJs who curate a playlist spanning indie rock, alternative, and emerging artists drawn from a broad and eclectic music library. The station’s HomeBrewed feature shines a spotlight on local DFW artists, giving North Texas musicians direct exposure to the Metroplex’s indie-leaning audience. KNTU also produces play-by-play coverage of UNT Mean Green football and men’s basketball as part of the Learfield Mean Green Sports Network, adding a live sports dimension to the station’s identity as the voice of the University of North Texas.
