KEWU-FM (89.5 MHz Jazz 89.5) is a college radio station, licensed to Cheney, Washington and serving the Spokane metropolitan area. The station, owned by Eastern Washington University (EWU), has an effective radiated power of 10,000 watts.{{cite web |url=https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?sr=Y&s=C&call=KEWU&nav=home |title=KEWU-FM Technical Details |date=2024 |website=radio-locator.com |publisher=Radio-Locator |access-date=December 20, 2024}} It broadcasts a format of classic and contemporary jazz.

KEWU aired its first broadcast in 1950.{{cite web |url=https://www.ewu.edu/kewu/ |title=KEUW 89.5 FM: About KEUW |date=2024 |website=ewu.edu |publisher=Eastern Washington University |access-date=December 20, 2024}} In the summer of 2023, the university announced it would cease operating the station. The closedown was slated for the end of that year, but the process was ultimately extended into 2024 as EWU continued to operate the station with an automated feed supplemented by 10 hours of student-hosted shows during weekday morning drive-times in the interim.{{cite web |url=https://www.ewu.edu/stories/kewus-sign-off-extended-into-2024/ |title=KEWU’s Sign Off Extended into 2024 |date=December 14, 2023 |website=ewu.edu |publisher=Eastern Washington University |access-date=December 20, 2024}}

In late 2024, EWU's administration announced that the formal process of selling the station's license had begun and would end by mid-2025. In preparation, the university donated KEWU's music library to Spokane Public Radio.{{cite web |url=https://www.khq.com/news/eastern-washington-university-to-sell-kewu-jazz-89-5-fm-license/article_f05d576a-b29c-11ef-9329-bf5785c68dcf.html |title=Eastern Washington University to sell KEWU Jazz 89.5 FM license |last=Fortin |first=Daniel |date=Dec 4, 2024 |website=khq.com |publisher=KHQ-TV |access-date=December 20, 2024}} On February 24, 2025, it was announced that an agreement was reached with the Oldies Preservation Society to buy the station.{{cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/295250/oldies-preservation-society-to-acquire-kewu-fm-spokane/|title=Oldies Preservation Society To Acquire KEWU-FM Spokane|first=Lance|last=Venta|work=Radio Insight|date=February 24, 2025|accessdate=February 27, 2025}}
