KWIT (90.3 FM) is the National Public Radio member station for Sioux City, Iowa and northwestern Iowa. It airs a mix of NPR programming and classical music. Owned by Western Iowa Tech Community College, it operates a full-time satellite, KOJI (90.7 FM) in Okoboji, Iowa. It is the largest NPR station in Iowa that is not a part of Iowa Public Radio.
KWIT signed on for the first time on January 31, 1978. Prior to then, most of the area got grade B coverage from WOI in Ames, and from KUSD in Vermillion, South Dakota. KWIT is the first radio station to broadcast on HD radio in Sioux City.
After several years of branding as "KWIT-KOJI", in 2017 it adopted the on-air name "Siouxland Public Media".
