Contents

KSMC broadcast at 89.5 on the FM dial with an effective radiated power of 800 watts and was streaming online since 2012. [2] [3]

Since the station's inception in 1975, it was entirely student-run.

Student DJs had the opportunity to play music at school events such as barbecues, club meetings, or community building events.

History

KSMC went on the air in 1975. It shut down in 1978 when it lost its home in a condemned dorm when it was remodeled, but reopened in 1979 with new equipment in the Student Union Building with a grant from Transamerica Corporation.

In 2012, KSMC began streaming online via TuneIn. It was later available on a variety of streaming services.

The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on May 22, 2025. [4]
