History and public events
Radio station KFSR was founded in 1982 at California State University, Fresno.[1] The primary format at that time was jazz in the morning and mostly new wave music from noon until 2:00am. Weekend programming was varied, including country/western, soul/rap, and public affairs programming. The station also aired many FSU sporting events. A typical broadcast week could include as many as 30 volunteer student announcers/DJs, mostly from the university's Radio-Television Department. A single-page promotional newsletter, The Dead Air Diary, was printed from 1983–85 and distributed at local record stores.[2]
For its ten-year anniversary in 1992, the station compiled and produced A Decade of Homicide, Raisins and Heat, a collection of songs by local Fresno rock bands.[3] The album included an assorted mix of musical styles including alternative rock, funk, ska, Thrash metal, and rock, but not country.[3] In 1994, the university's campus station aired coverage of Fresno State volleyball, basketball, and softball home games.[4]
In 2002, the station director was Matthew Boam who went by the nickname "The Bucket".[5] The station celebrated its twentieth anniversary by holding a reunion for former KFSR members.[6] Focusing on its role is to promote local music, the station put together a two-day concert to celebrate KFSR and celebrate local musicians.[6] The station also produced a 21-track CD of local music to coincide with the bands appearing at the concert.[6]
The station began holding membership drives in 2003,[7] as well as a community affairs program about air quality.[8]
In 2005, local musicians came together to hold a three-day concert to raise funds for KFSR.[9] In December 2006, the station began to air the syndicated A Prairie Home Companion, hosted by Garrison Keillor.[10]
