KSJS

KSJS (90.5 MHz) is a college radio station that broadcasts 24 hours a day from the campus of San Jose State University in San Jose, California, USA. The brainchild of Professor Clarence Flick, it went on the air on February 11, 1963, with only 85 watts of power. The studio is located in Hugh Gillis Hall, easily accessible to RTVF majors. Originally, its transmitting antenna was installed atop the Walquist Library Building on campus, but broadcasting range was adversely affected due to the nearby Bank of America Building's superior height. Today, however, its transmitter atop Coyote Peak broadcasts 1500 watts, allowing the station to be heard by the entire Santa Clara Valley and much of the San Francisco Peninsula. Currently, the station features five musical formats: urban, electronic, subversive rock, rock en Español, and jazz. The station also has non-music departments: Social Media, Traffic, Promotions, Production, Digitization, and Office. Ksjs is available to stream on the web at KSJS.org, and there are many Facebook groups that are used to keep listeners updated with show promotions and it also provides a track list of who played what song at different times of the day. The number to reach KSJS is 408-924-KSJS(5757). The station is almost entirely student-run, and was one of the first radio stations in the nation to stream its programming over the Internet.
