KUSF was a non-commercial radio station licensed to San Francisco, California and owned by the University of San Francisco. From 1963 until 2011, the station broadcast at 90.3 FM MHz. On January 18, 2011, the station's longtime student-run, freeform/eclectic music format was abruptly dropped from the 90.3 FM frequency following the announcement of the station's sale. That same day, the University of Southern California announced a deal with Entercom Communications to acquire the call sign, programming and intellectual property of longtime classical music outlet KDFC-FM, and began airing the station's programming on the 90.3 FM frequency (as well as on also-acquired KNDL) later that same day. USF will keep the KUSF call letters (for branding purposes) and intellectual property and continue it as an online-only station. ==KUSF History== From 1963 until 2011, KUSF was a student-run broadcast station owned by the University of San Francisco. Following the frequency's sale, KUSF announced plans to become an online-only station. The station is located in the basement of Phelan Hall on the University of San Francisco campus, and is funded by the University of San Francisco, local and merchant underwriting, individual donations, and foundation grants.〔(KUSF's website )〕 KUSF began in 1963 as a campus-only AM station managed by the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco (ASUSF). In 1973, USF was offered an FM radio station by a small local Bible college that wished to discontinue its radio operations. USF accepted the offer and on April 25, 1977, KUSF became an FM station broadcasting on the 90.3 frequency.〔 The old AM station later became the student-managed KDNZ. Originally broadcasting six hours a day, KUSF began broadcasting 24 hours a day in 1981. In its early days KUSF was a conventional college station, broadcasting programs of interest to the university and greater San Francisco community. However, KUSF soon garnered attention by playing new underground music: it was one of the first radio stations to play punk rock. Many now-famous acts also first gained exposure on KUSF, most notably The B-52's and Metallica. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KUSF (defunct)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
