WUCX-FM, 90.1 MHz in Bay City, Michigan, is a public radio station licensed to Central Michigan University and operated jointly with Delta College. It airs programming (both local and syndicated) separate from WCMU-FM (89.5 MHz) between 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 6 a.m. until 12 p.m on Sundays. The station simulcasts WCMU-FM for the remainder of the time. WUCX-FM, which went on the air in September 1989, identified as "Q90.1" (with the "Q" standing for "Quality", after its television counterpart and PBS member, WDCQ-TV (channel 19)) until 2020 during non-simulcast day parts. Programming offers a mixture of news and talk (including programming from National Public Radio, American Public Media, Public Radio Exchange, and BBC World Service), as well as several types of music. WUCX-FM is the only station in the Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City metropolitan area that broadcasts in the HD Radio format.
WUCX-FM and WDCQ-TV share studios at the Frank N. Andersen Broadcast Center on the Delta College campus on Delta Road in University Center, an unincorporated community in Frankenlust Township in southwestern Bay County; WUCX-FM's transmitter is located on Dutcher Road near Van Buren Road in the northwest corner of Tuscola County, and broadcasts on a tower shared with commercial station WHNN (96.1 FM), owned by Cumulus Media.
