History

Dr. Webb Pomeroy, chairman of the Communications Committee, first proposed the idea of "Centenary Radio" in 1972. Four and a half years later, KSCL went live on March 19, 1976. The first Station Manager and co-builder of the station was Jay Reynolds. Reynolds said that KSCL would be "alternative" and "like no other station in Shreveport" and hoped that it would become as significant to community relations as Centenary basketball had been. KSCL was THE FIRST PUBLIC RADIO STATION in Shreveport. The original inventory contained 120 albums, several pounds of "worthless 45's", and two top quality turntables. Reynolds combed the community for out of date carpet samples which became the soundproofing for the original studio which used a 1940's vintage Gates "Yard" mixing board which was donated by KRMD-AM.
