Hey Kids,
Over the weekend, the KUSF transmitter suffered another failure and
is now on temporary life support until new parts arrive from wherever
parts come from. This means that the station is operating on 1/6 of
its usual power and that the live broadcast will not reach as far as
usual this evening and the online feed may not work at all. I'll try
and get the Live365 archive up earlier to compensate.....
As many of you know, KUSF is an award-winning, non-commercial
station, broadcasting from the University of San Francisco campus. In
the past, we have survived without pledge drives and major
fund-raising events, but those days may be over. We're currently
putting our collective heads together to organize some kind of on-air
campaign and any help from the community-at-large would be a big
help. If you work for a label and can spare CDs to use as premiums,
let me know. Maybe you cashed out before the dot.com bust and have a
few extra bucks you'd like to write off on next year's taxes - that
would be even better. Come to think of it, now that George W. has put
those tax rebates in the mail, maybe you'd care to sign yours over to
us......you get the point....anything will be appreciated.
If you're part of the local dance community, you know how much time
we devote to club culture every week. Besides "FreeFall," there's
"Rhythm Generation" offering the latest house music on Thursdays,
Andrew Jervis' "Friday Night Sessions" on Friday, two hours of drum
n' bass and breakbeat every Sunday on "Future Breaks," followed by
120 minutes of hip-hop on "Beatsauce." I haven't even mentioned the
18 hours of new music programming every weekday, the blues, reggae,
jazz and metal shows and time given over to programs that serve the
international communities.
Please let me know if you can contribute - thanks.
Ciao for now,
David
