TV and netcasts

Starting in 1976 as KCSU-TV, UCentral features several award-winning HDTV and netcast programs such as UCentral News, the daily student newscast; The Huddle, a weekly football highlight program during the fall; Conspiracy Weekly, an in-depth look at untold truths; Cup of Joe Quiz Show, a light-hearted, trivia-based game show with a prize; and TBSR, a focus on UCO players during the spring semester. All programs are available online at ucentralmedia.com, on the UCentral iPhone app, and in the city of Edmond, Oklahoma on Cox digital channel 125.

Newspaper

The Vista was established in 1903 as the student newspaper of the University of Central Oklahoma. It is distributed free of charge on the UCO campus and designated off-campus locations on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters. The paper is published on Wednesdays during the summer semester.

Radio

UCentral Radio is the student radio station in Edmond, Oklahoma, on the campus of The University of Central Oklahoma. UCentral Radio applied for an LPFM license in November 2013 and was awarded a Construction Permit by FCC for 99.3 FM on February 24, 2015. It reserved the call letters KZUC.

A previous radio entity (from 1966 until 2014) at the university was KCSC, its call letters stemming from the university's former name, Central State College. In 2014, the call letters were changed to KUCO to reflect the university's (relatively) new name. The station serves now as a full-time classical music station.
