Radio at UNT

KNTU is two stations -- HD1 & HD2

KNTU strives to serve the public interest with news, public affairs, and entertainment programming for the McKinney, Denton, Dallas-Fort Worth area; to provide news and information of community interest about the University of North Texas; and to provide an industry-standards environment in which students learn about radio broadcasting.

KNTU's staff includes volunteers, students who sign up to earn practicum credit toward their degrees, and students who work part time paid jobs in eight middle management positions. All UNT students are eligible to work at KNTU where they will find an excellent opportunity to gain valuable broadcast experience in a variety of areas, including programming and production, news and sports announcing, sales and development, and station administration.

The studios are in the Radio/TV/Film & Performing Arts (RTFP) Building on the Denton campus of the University of North Texas. There are five Media Arts staff members providing guidance to the students: General Manager Dan Balla, Sports & Special Events Manager Zac Babb, Account Executive Rich Edmond, and Chief Engineer Randy Smith.
