Programming
KXWT's format is primarily news and talk from National Public Radio and locally-produced music content. Genres of music played by the station include Classical Music, Jazz, Blues, World Music, Celtic music, Folk music, and Bluegrass music. Until the purchase by Marfa Public Radio, on-air program hosts were Odessa College students and volunteers, including bluegrass legend Bill Myrick. Marfa Public Radio also provided some of the news programs. With the purchase by Marfa Public Radio, the College will no longer be involved in any fashion. Marfa Public Radio will provide all programming content and will have some full and part time employees solely devoted to KXWT. The station will continue to rely heavily on NPR programming, but additional programming is expected.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
