its end in 1999. In 1998, KWUR became one of the first college stations to offer a live online stream (at the time in RealAudio format). The now defunct Nibblebox.com, who were once the central body of college radio, gave KWUR nine awards for best shows in their respective timeslots. In 2003, KWUR won the critic's choice from the Riverfront Times for the Best Radio Station in St. Louis. In 2001, KWUR began the latest of its periodic wattage upgrade campaigns, in the hopes of increasing its transmitting power to 100 watts (Previous upgrade campaigns occurred in 1989 and 1995.) The outcome of this campaign was the same as before: despite approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and commissioned technical studies showing there would be no interference with adjacent stations, KWUR was unable to get approval from its closest neighbor, NPR-affiliate KWMU. In 2005, KWUR began a complete renovation of its studio and technology. In 2006, KWUR began official rebroadcasts of Free Speech Radio News. KWUR moved its operations to a newer space in the fall 2013 semester. In the fall of 2015, the station revamped its "stack session" program, bringing in significantly more local artists and touring bands to play live on-air, and recorded sets for students, which eventually culminated in the "KWUR Sucks" series, a monthly showcase of diy local and national talent References External links KWUR home page 1976 establishments in Missouri WUR Freeform radio stations Radio stations established in 1976 WUR Washington University in St. Louis
