KWBU-FM (103.3 MHz), is a public non-commercial FM radio station in Waco, Texas, serving the greater Brazos Valley region. It has studios on River Street in Waco. The station's Federal Communications Commission license is held by the Brazos Valley Public Broadcasting Foundation, a nonprofit community organization. Baylor University has a majority of votes on the foundation board.
Many shows come from National Public Radio (NPR), with Central Texas news and information updates. There are also blocks of classical music in late mornings and evenings, with jazz shows on weekends. The BBC World Service is heard overnight.
KWBU went on the air in 1966 as Baylor University's college radio station. It was transferred to the Brazos Valley Public Broadcasting Foundation and relaunched as an NPR station in 2000.
