History

In 2013, San Francisco Community Radio filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission for a new low-power station to serve San Francisco. The group was formed by former DJs and staff members of KUSF, the former freeform station of the University of San Francisco, which was sold in 2011 and changed formats. [3] The DJs created "KUSF in Exile", which grew into San Francisco Community Radio. [4]

KXSF-LP began broadcasting on September 10, 2018, with a launch lineup including 30 different programs. [5] The frequency is shared with KSFP-LP, which specializes in talk and public affairs programming. [6]
