WTUS-LP (103.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The station is owned by the Tuscaloosa City Board of Education. It airs a Travelers' information station format interspersed with smooth jazz.[1]

The station was assigned the WTUS-LP call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on October 19, 2004.[2] WTUS originally shared time on the channel with WUAC-LP. WTUS broadcast from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, with WUAC broadcasting the other twelve hours of each day. WUAC-LP's license was cancelled by the FCC on December 16, 2014, due to the station having been silent for more than twelve months, which allowed WTUS-LP to commence 24 hour operations.
