History

Originally granted a construction permit to build a low power radio station with the call letters KRUU-LP by the FCC in 2001, the Fairfield Youth Advocacy, a.k.a. the Beatbox, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was granted a six-month extension in April 2006. At that time, a town hall meeting was held and the board of directors was formed. The station debuted on air on September 30, 2006. [1]

In September 2009, KRUU-LP became the first partially solar-powered radio station in the midwest United States. According to KRUU-LP, solar panels reduced its reliance on the conventional electrical grid by 15% to 20% percent and powered the master control room and transmitter. [2] The operation included twenty-four Photocomm solar panels and battery backup was used during inclement weather. [1]

The station's license expired February 1, 2021. [3] [4]
