History
[edit]The station signed on the air in September 1947.[4] It served as the FM sister station to WSUI 910 AM, among the oldest radio stations in America. The call letters represent "State University of Iowa," the formal name of the University of Iowa, the owner of both stations.
At first, both stations largely simulcast the same programming. But as FM radio became more popular, the AM station developed a news and information format, while the FM station became an outlet for classical music.
