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.
After several years of branding as "KWIT-KOJI", in 2017 it adopted the on-air name "Siouxland Public Media".
Iowa Basement Tapes is an American weekly hour-long radio program created by host Kristian Day and produced in collaboration with KFMG-LP (98.9 FM). The show focuses on Iowa's history in punk rock, garage, metal, and electronic. It is syndicated on KWIT (90.3FM) and KOJI (90.7FM) broadcasting on Fridays from 11PM to Midnight.
