KUAC will make several changes to its FM and HD weekend line-up beginning Saturday, Jan. 10.
"KUAC strives to engage our listeners with quality programming that fits our listeners' lifestyles and tastes," said Keith Martin, general manager. "At times, there is a need to alter the programming schedule to meet these goals."
Below are the new schedules.
Saturday morning on KUAC FM and HD:
7 a.m. – "Weekend Edition Saturday"
9 a.m. – "Best of Car Talk"
10 a.m. – "Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me"
11 a.m. – "The Whad’Ya Know Radio Hour"
Sunday morning on KUAC FM and HD:
7 a.m. – "Weekend Edition Sunday"
9 a.m. – "On the Media"
10 a.m. – "The Splendid Table"
11 a.m. – "From the Top"
The schedule change means some additional changes on KUAC2 and KUAC3, the station's other HD radio channels:
• "America's Test Kitchen Radio" will replace "The Splendid Table" at 11 a.m. Listeners can also tune in to KUAC3 for more programming about food with hosts from KUAC TV Create programs like "Cook's Country" and "America's Test Kitchen."
• "Wits" will still air at 10 a.m. on Saturday mornings, but will be on KUAC2.
• "WireTap" will move to 10 a.m. Sunday morning on KUAC2.
• "XPoNential Radio" on KUAC2 on Sundays will make way for some new programming in select time slots: "Nerdette" with host Greta Johnsen, the former host during "Morning Edition" on KUAC, will air at 11 a.m., and "Encounters" will air at 11:30 a.m. In the 4-5 p.m. timeslot, KUAC2 will offer NPR programs that have only a season of episodes, rather than a full year. Those include "State of the Re:Union," "Intelligence2," "America Abroad," "Invisibilia" and "Reveal."
