WEKU (88.9 FM), is a National Public Radio-affiliated station in Richmond, Kentucky; serving nearby Lexington. Owned by Eastern Kentucky University, it primarily features NPR news and talk programming. WEKU also operates satellite stations WEKP (90.1 FM) in Pineville, WEKH (90.9 FM) in Hazard, WEKF (88.5 FM) in Corbin and two translators in Middlesboro (102.5 FM, W273AY) and Barbourville (96.9 FM, W245AS).[1]
The station is one of two full NPR members serving Lexington, the other being the University of Kentucky's WUKY. Lexington is thus one of the smallest markets with two competing full NPR member stations.
WEKU currently programs WKYL 102.1 FM as a classical music service.
