Louisiana Tech's local radio station is [[KLPI]]. The radio station was founded as WLPI-AM in 1966 and originally housed in a rented office on Railroad Avenue in downtown Ruston. By 1974, construction was completed on KLPI-FM, and the radio station began broadcasting at 10 watts. Afterward, WLPI-AM was shut down due to maintenance problems with the station's equipment. For a while the station was located at the southeast corner of the Student Center at the heart of the Tech campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://klpi.latech.edu/testsite/history.php |title=KLPI History |website=klpi.latech.edu |access-date=May 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819122144/http://klpi.latech.edu/testsite/history.php |archive-date=August 19, 2011 }}</ref> With the 2022 makeover of Centennial Plaza the KLPI station was moved and is once again moving around campus.<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 August 2023 |title=Makeover in the works for Centennial Plaza |url=https://www.rustonleader.com/news/makeover-works-centennial-plaza}}</ref> KLPI transmits at 4,000 watts of power.
