KMUW first took to the air on April 26, 1949, as a 10-watt station owned by Municipal University of Wichita (the former name of Wichita State University). The call sign was derived from the first letters of the university name. It was the first noncommercial FM station in Kansas, second FM station in Kansas, and the first 10-watt noncommercial FM station in the United States.[2]
