The KUYI Team
Safety. Education. Entertainment.
Most of the work that goes into a public radio station is never seen by the public. To keep KUYI running, there are a million little things that have to take place on a daily basis. KUYI's staff work a regular Monday thru Friday schedule, but are often on-call after-hours and putting in extra time on weekends to ensure Hopi Radio is on the air and improving.
