KVSC (88.1 FM) in Saint Cloud, Minnesota is part of Minnesota's Independent Public Radio network. It is operated by St. Cloud State University and broadcasts an alternative music format. KVSC-FM is an educational public radio station that is student-run and operates 365 days per year, nearly 24 hours a day.
KVSC is well known in central Minnesota for its annual 50-hour trivia marathon. The first "Trivia Weekend" took place in 1980, with 25 participating teams. In 2007, 80 teams participated, setting an all-time record. The contest begins at 5:00 p.m. on the second Friday in February, and ends at 7:00 p.m. on the following Sunday. During each of the 50 intervening hours, DJs read nine trivia questions over the air, except during speed rounds where 18 questions are read. Competing teams hope to call in with the correct answer before the time limit on the question expires. Question values range from 10 to 500 points (however, for the 2008 contest, the highest point value was 250), and any team that answers a question correctly in the allotted time (generally ranging from 4 to 40 minutes) is awarded the value of that question. The team with the most points at the end of the contest wins.
The contest is staffed by volunteers and sponsored by local businesses.
