KWTS is a radio broadcast service in Canyon, Texas, USA and is operated by the West Texas A&M University. The station started broadcasting in 1972 with 10 watts—just enough to cover the university's campus. In 1982, the Federal Communications Commission ordered all educational radio stations to increase power. Later that year, the station's power increased to 100 watts and broadcast in stereo. The station now broadcasts across nine different counties in the Texas Panhandle, as well as being available over the Internet.^[1]

The station has continuously aired special shows, both music and talk shows, ranging from classical to contemporary music of varying genres. Talk shows have varied in topic from gaming and sports to relationships.^[2] The station moved to the new Sybil B. Harrington fine arts complex in August 2006, but did not go live on the air until September 11, the birthday of the station.

On September 30th, 2010, WTAMU opened up the AT&T High Definition Studio, which will be used by broadcasting students.^[3]^[4] On November 8th, KWTS broke in the new studio with its "ONE Sessions at the Live Lounge" program, a live show which featured local music.^[5]
