KUSF

KUSF is a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station that was formerly operated by the University of San Francisco. It broadcast on the 90.3 FM frequency and was known for its eclectic programming, featuring a wide range of music genres, spoken word, and community-focused shows. The station had a significant following for its independent music selections, which often included genres not commonly found on commercial radio. KUSF played a vital role in the San Francisco Bay Area's cultural landscape, providing a platform for emerging artists and diverse voices.

In January 2009, the University of San Francisco announced its decision to cease KUSF's broadcast operations and sell its FM license. This decision sparked widespread protest from listeners, musicians, and community members who valued the station's unique programming and its contribution to the local arts scene. Despite efforts to save the station, KUSF's over-the-air broadcasts ended in February 2009. However, the KUSF spirit continued through online streaming and a community-driven effort to maintain its legacy. The station's original mission was to serve the university and the broader community with diverse and independent programming, a goal that continues to resonate with its former listeners.
