History
editIn November 2014, owner Stephens College announced it would sell the then-KWWC-FM to the University of Missouri, which already owned NPR member station KBIA (91.3). Once the sale was completed, the classical music format heard on KBIA during the daytime was moved to 90.5, while the 91.3 signal would have a news/talk/information format similar to sister stations KWMU in St. Louis and KCUR-FM in Kansas City. The call letters were also to be changed to KMUC.[4]
The station changed its call sign to KMUC on October 29, 2015, and changed its format to classical music on October 31, 2015.
