Just weeks after the 40th anniversary of its first locally produced program, WUTC (FM 88.1) continued the celebration with its first live broadcast from the radio station’s new home.

WUTC, Chattanooga’s National Public Radio Station, christened its new state-of-the-art studio Aug. 29, going live from the top floor of the 540 McCallie Avenue building. The University of Tennessee owns and operates the station.

“WUTC is now in the clouds, high above the city,” said WUTC’s Richard Winham at the start of his first 10 a.m. show after the move.

WUTC broadcast its first locally produced program Aug. 1, 1982, which marks its official birthday under FCC rules.
