KSUT originally signed on as a non-commercial community radio station licensed to serve the community of Ignacio, Colorado. The station has since expanded to two distinct formats, ''Four Corners Public Radio'', with a public radio format of NPR and music programming, and ''Southern Ute Tribal Radio'', which airs Native American music and news. While the stations have different legal call letters, both stations still refer to themselves on-air, online, and in marketing as KSUT. The stations are owned by ''KSUT Public Radio'', a non-profit corporation, and licensed to ''KUTE, Inc.'' ==History== On May 7, 1975, this station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission and was assigned the call letters KSUT.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=35816&Callsign=KSUT )〕 Originally licensed as a 10 watt community radio station serving the Southern Ute Indian Reservation, KSUT began regular broadcasting in June 1976 with a mix of tribal news and personal messages for the residents of the reservation. At the time, it was one of only eight Native American radio stations operating in the United States. A May 1979 relocation of the broadcast transmitter and increase in signal strength allowed KSUT to begin serving the larger surrounding community as well.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Application Search Details (BPED-19780808AF) )〕 In 1984, the station joined NPR, adding ''All Things Considered'', ''Morning Edition'', and other programming sources, in order to broaden the appeal of the station beyond Native news and cultural programming.〔 ''Four Corners Public Radio'', as it came to be known, added several affiliates and broadcast translators to serve the greater Four Corners region. The station adopted a daily music format called the ''Music Blend'' that focused on rock, folk, bluegrass, jazz, blues, and other genres. ''Four Corners Public Radio'' also added more conventional public radio shows like ''Fresh Air'' and ''A Prairie Home Companion''. KSUT split its program stream into two stations, and two sets of similar call letters, in June, 1998. KUTE-FM assumed the ''Four Corners Public Radio'' format, serving a larger regional audience with NPR programming and varied music. KSUT-FM, now branded as ''Southern Ute Tribal Radio'', returned to its original mission of serving the reservation and surrounding area with Native American programming.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KSUT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
