KUOI-FM (89.3 FM) is a freeform, college radio station in the western United States at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. It broadcasts in Moscow, the neighboring city Pullman, Washington, and in other townships on the Palouse. KUOI is headquartered on the third floor of the Bruce Pitman Center (the former Student Union Building) at Sixth and Deakin streets, on the northeast edge of campus.

The station began operating 79 years ago in 1945, and began FM programming 23 years later in 1968, officially starting on Sunday, November 17.

Starting on the AM dial in 1945 at 655 kHz with a two-watt transmitter, it moved to 660 in 1947 at five watts; with the move to FM, it went to ten watts in 1968 at 89.3 MHz. It boosted up to fifty watts and stereo in 1977, and to 400 watts in January 1995.
