KSJS-FM (San Jose, CA)

Verified
Radio
KSJS (90.5 MHz) is a college radio station that broadcasts 24 hours a day from the campus of San Jose State University in San Jose, California, United States. The brainchild of Professor Clarence Flick, it went on the air on February 11, 1963, with only 85 watts of power. The studio is located in Hugh Gillis Hall, easily accessible to RTVF majors. Originally, its transmitting antenna was installed atop the Walquist Library Building on campus, but broadcasting range was adversely affected due to the nearby Bank of America Building's superior height. Today, however, its transmitter atop Coyote Peak broadcasts 1,500 watts, allowing the station to be heard by the entire Santa Clara Valley and much of the San Francisco Peninsula. Currently, the station features five musical formats: urban, electronic, alternative rock, rock en Español, and jazz. Source

Underrated Bay Area Artists: P.E.E.

|
By Louie Degroot
| KSJS-FM (San Jose, CA) Verified
Hailing from San Francisco, P.E.E. was an indie rock band that existed from 1993-1996. Whenever I listen to this band, I always wonder why they’re never more widely known. They have a questionable yet attention-grabbing name, extremely tight playing, and infectiously catchy songwriting. During their lifetime, they released two albums and an EP: Now! More Charm & More Tender, The Roaring Mechanism, and Miracle Research Center Staff.

Sky Ferreira Concert Review

|
By Joseph Edwards
| KSJS-FM (San Jose, CA) Verified
I recall a thread I read in late 2022 on (what was formerly) Twitter about someone’s experience at a Sky Ferreira concert. It was a pretty disastrous thread: the show began late, technical issues galore, and several songs were repeated due to dissatisfaction from Sky herself. I knew then that I absolutely neeeeeeeeded to go see Sky Ferreira live to experience these conundrums firsthand, and it’s safe to say my expectations were met! The lead up to the concert was a bit nebulous.

| KSJS-FM (San Jose, CA) Verified
In the mid-90’s Hip-Hop reached a vitall turning point. This period is widely considered to be the end of the genre’s golden age (1988-1994). It was during this time that the commercialization of this social and artistic movement began to tighten its grip. Some even regard this as the death of Hip-Hop as a movement.
