KCPR

KCPR is a non-profit freeform college radio station at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo), San Luis Obispo, California. Its operating frequency is 91.3 MHz FM. KCPR also streams its programming online 24 hours a day.

KCPR's first broadcast occurred with a small 2-watt transmitter in the Fall of 1968; according to station lore, the first words spoken on-air were, "Is this the damn switch?" not "Christ, are we on the air?" as it is sometimes reported.Weird Al Yankovic was a volunteer DJ there when he was an undergraduate architecture student at the university. Yankovic recorded his iconic parody song "My Bologna" in the bathroom that stands across the hall from the station's original location on the second floor of the Journalism Building on the Cal Poly campus. He would later return to the station for an interview during the 1990s, where he recorded a station ID that can still be heard playing today. After 39 years of continuous operation, KCPR moved to a new studio in the Summer of 2008.
