Unique character, programming of KTRU merit support for blanket tax
We Owls, with our college system and quirky traditions such as Beer Bike, Night of Decadence and Baker 13, take pride in a campus experience that puts the average university to shame. For over 40 years, KTRU has served as an integral part of that tradition. In 1967, a few Hanszenites transmitted a two-watt signal through the buzzer system of the college, dubbing it KHCR (Hanszen College Radio). Now KTRU (the "TRU" is "The Rice University") broadcasts a 50,000-watt signal at 91.7 FM that is heard all over Houston.
