KNTU (88.1 FM) is the campus radio station of the University of North Texas which was formerly known as North Texas State University at Denton, Texas. The signal of the station covers much of the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex of North Texas with a format of news and primarily Jazz music. Most of the staff consists of Radio, Television, and Film students.

Many of the former DJ's have moved onto bigger radio stations in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. Most notably, Genevieve Croft (DJ, producer/host of the Jazz Minute) has moved onto KLUV 98.7, and Michael Westbrook (Former sports director) at KRLD 1080.
