". Radio programming from Dixie State began in 2009, when a preview of KXDS' programming aired on KURR (103.1 FM) ahead of the launch of the 91.3 facility. The station was known as "Classical 91" and aired a classical music format. The classical format was dropped in 2012 as part of changes to increase student involvement. In 2017, the university entered into a 10-year lease to expand to operating a low-power station in St. George, KDXI-LP 100.3. That station changed its call sign to KQUT-LP on June 29, 2022, in advance of Dixie State University changing its name officially to Utah Tech University on July 1. After reaching an agreement with the owner of KUTU-CD, a television station in Oklahoma, KXDS became KUTU on September 26, 2022.
