KDVS' sister station KUSF from San Francisco was abruptly shut down earlier this week by authorities at the University of San Francisco. This came as shocking and disturbing news to all those who've listened to and appreciated KUSF for 34 years.
Their spot on the fm dial (their FCC license for their radio frequency of 90.3 fm) was sold for $3.75 million. The sale is underway but is still pending FCC approval.
On Kicksville 29BC 1/23 we'll hear from two long-time KUSF djs, DJ Ron Quintana and DJ Loren of KUSF's Rampage Radio.

Many other bloggers and social-networkers have spread the word about the abrupt banishment of KUSF from the San Francisco airwaves, but if you haven't heard 'til now, this is truly a travesty. On Tuesday, January 18, the University of San Francisco ordered KUSF's transmitter to be turned off, removed staff from the station, and changed the locks. A deal had been brokered to sell KUSF's 90.3 FM frequency to a classical music network from Southern California. No warning was given, and now one of the greatest cities in the world is without its only full-power freeform community radio station. Over the years, KUSF has been one of
the handful of very best radio stations, with tons of great underground music of all flavors, and an incredible array of cultural offerings in many languages. It was only last summer that Rice University in Houston made a move to sell the license and transmitter of Freeform KTRU, causing immediate mobilization of KTRU staff and supporters to block the sale and keep a student and community resource from becoming another dentist's office classical music radio station. The same kind of effort is quickly under way by KUSF's staff and supporters. Longtime KUSF DJ Carolyn Keddy joined me on the air this week to talk about what's happening...and a little about what got her involved with KUSF 20 years ago and what kept her motivated to stay so long.
I'll never forget the day that I first heard The Consumers...it was winter holiday break from UC Davis, and fellow KDVS DJ Todd Urick (of the "Hometown Atrocities" show) and I were driving around the Bay Area blowing mad money on as much rad garagepunk and Japanese hardcore records I could afford, plus Killed by Death and Bloodstains compilations. We'd shopped and spent 'til we could no more...or so we thought! The moment that Carolyn played The Consumers on KUSF, we got off I-80 in El Cerrito--yes, we were on our way home--and turned back around to double back to Amoeba in Berkeley, where we found our copies of All My Friends Are Dead. We bought one each for ourselves, plus a copy for KDVS which we still treasure and play often to this day. Is that a record-nerd story or what? Thank you, Carolyn, for this disease you've given me.

San Francisco Board Of Supervisors APPROVES Resolution to SUPPORT the Stop of the Sale of KUSF!!! 30 Seconds into Video...
TEXT OF THE PROPOSED SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE SALE OF KUSF
[Opposing the sale of KUSF’s FCC license to broadcast on 90.3 FM ]
Resolution recognizing the long and valuable public service of radio station KUSF; opposing the sale of KUSF’s FCC license to broadcast on 90.3 FM, requesting the USF Board of Regents to rescind the decision to transfer KUSF’s license and reinstate KUSF programming, and urging San Francisco’s Federal representatives to express their opposition to KUSF’s sale to the Federal Communications Commission.
WHEREAS, Radio station KUSF is a non-commercial community broadcaster located on the University of San Francisco (USF) campus and funded by USF, local and merchant underwriting, individual donations, and foundation grants; and WHEREAS, In April of 2002, the Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 281-02, commending KUSF on the occasion of their twenty-fifth anniversary; and, WHEREAS, KUSF began in 1963 as a campus-only AM station managed by the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco; and, WHEREAS, On April 25, 1977, KUSF became an FM station broadcasting on the 90.3 frequency, broadcasting six hours a day; and, WHEREAS, KUSF began broadcasting 24 hours a day in 1981, and continued to do so uninterrupted until 10 a.m. on January 18, 2011 when USF staff, without notice, terminated the broadcast and ejected KUSF staff and volunteers from the station; and, WHEREAS, On January 18, 2011 USF announced plans to sell KUSF's license to broadcast on 90.3 FM to classical station KDFC, whose license for 102.1 FM would be sold to classic rock station, KUFX; and, WHEREAS, KUSF has repeatedly been named the best radio station in the Bay Area by local media outlets, including the SF Weekly, Bay Guardian, and San Francisco Magazine; and, WHEREAS, KUSF routinely provided a wide range of community based programming dedicating itself to giving a voice to the unique range of cultures & communities that help make San Francisco an internationally respected city; and, WHEREAS, Such community service programming is highlighted by shows like Senior News, and Disability Report, which is a community service the station has served this city with for over 25 years; and WHEREAS, KUSF has historically been committed to its obligation to serve all communities of San Francisco with programming in twelve languages, sometimes the only programming available to certain language and ethnic groups including : • Chinese Star Radio (over 15 years), • Armenian Hour (over 25 years), • Turkish Cultural Program (over 10 years), • Radio Goethe (in German, over 10 years), • So Da Brasil (over 10 years); and, WHEREAS, For more than thirty years, KUSF has been one of the main outlets for and promoters San Francisco musicians who are ignored by the Bay Areas commercial radio stations; and, WHEREAS, Many now-famous musical acts first gained radio exposure on KUSF, including Depeche Mode, Metallica, The B-52's, U2, R.E.M., the White Stripes, and Kronos Quartet, in fact, KUSF has received one double platinum and seven gold record awards from the recording industry—one of the very few college stations in the country ever to be so recognized; and, WHEREAS, KUSF has been a steadfast community partner with many Community Based Organizations promoting, health, the arts, education and social justice such as Shanti Project, Community Thrift, Exploratorium, Yerba Buena Center For The Arts, Frameline Film Festival, SF International Film Festival, Noise Pop, Mission Creek Music & Arts Festival, Project Open Hand, Film Noir Foundation, Media Alliance, Pets Unlimited, Cartoon Art Museum, Castro Theatre, Red Vic, SF Public Library, Coalition on Homelessness; and, WHEREAS, KUSF has a direct effect on our local economy by supporting local musicians, artists, record labels, live music venues (and all the staff it takes to run them), promoting the work of our rich non-profit community through myriad museums, independent film houses, Internationally attended film, arts, and music festivals in San Francisco through the invaluable media coverage that helps them to reach their community about their efforts; and, WHEREAS, KUSF provides incalculable value to the academic mission of USF by attracting students throughout the country to its Mass Media Studies program who enroll expressly because of the opportunity KUSF provides; and WHEREAS, KUSF further supports the university’s educational goals by broadcasting student recruiting announcements for not only the College of Arts and Sciences but also other academic departments as well as airing Public Services Announcements promoting activities and events open to the public on campus; and WHEREAS, KUSF provides live coverage of USF’s Davies Forum Scholars, a lecture series designed to interest students in public services and has featured such notables as McGeorge Bundy and Pierre Salinger; and, WHEREAS, KUSF supports not only the university’s academic and intellectual programs, but also provides coverage of Dons sporting events including men’s and women’s basketball and broadcast the NCAA national soccer championships featuring the Dons; and, WHEREAS, The loss of KUSF would thus have a devastating impact on San Francisco's eclectic and prolific local music, arts and social justice communities; and, WHEREAS, KUSF’s programming enjoys a market share almost unheard of amongst college stations rating 7th in average quarter-hour audiences and 11th in cumulative audience listenership among adults 18-34 which is an understated market as Arbitron, the industry research and marketing firm producing the ratings, does not even measure KUSF’s ethnic and foreign language listenership; and WHEREAS, The Federal Communications Commission's publication, “The Public and Broadcasting,” states that licensed radio stations are "required by law to operate its station in the “public interest, convenience and necessity.” This means that it must air programming that is responsive to the needs and problems of its local community of license;" and, WHEREAS, “The Public and Broadcasting,” also states that radio stations must "affirmatively identify those needs and problems and then specifically treat those local matters that it deems to be significant in the news, public affairs, political and other programming that it airs;" and, WHEREAS, KUSF met these requirements by broadcasting cultural programming every weekday from 6 p.m. to midnight and all day and night on Saturday and Sunday; and, WHEREAS, The American Women in Radio and Television honored KUSF with its KUDO Award for the best cultural diversity programming on Bay Area radio; and, WHEREAS, USF’s announced intention to stream former KUSF programming solely as online content is inherently discriminatory in that it clearly digitally divides its diverse audience, the digital divide being a symptom of a larger and more complex problem -- that of persistent poverty and inequality—an express reason that public, non-commercial broadcasting even exists; and WHEREAS, Replacing KUSF's diverse, community-serving format with an all-music format would have a detrimental impact on San Francisco and would constitute a violation of the FCC requirement that licensees must serve the “public interest, convenience and necessity;” now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco hereby decries the loss of the cultural and community asset that is represented by KUSF and the loss generally of public access to media afforded by public radio and voices its extreme displeasure at the abrupt closure of KUSF; and, be it FURTHER RESOLVED, The Board of Supervisors recognizes that KUSF 90.3 FM is a public trust and community asset that serves as an extraordinary educational tool, provides access to vital information to those who otherwise won't have it, and is immensely valuable to the people of San Francisco and integral to the fabric of our city; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, The Board of Supervisors requests USF to respect the requirement of localism by offering the City and County of San Francisco or members of the public the opportunity to obtain the 90.3 FM license and the KUSF name to keep it a San Francisco run non-commercial educational and community station; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors urges the President of USF and the USF Board of Trustees to withdraw any applications to transfer the license to broadcast on 90.3 FM and otherwise requests USF to reconsider its actions in closing KUSF and sale of its FCC license; and be it FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors urges Congresswoman Pelosi and Senators Boxer and Feinstein to contact the FCC and expression their opposition to any proposed transfer of KUSF's license to broadcast on 90.3 FM; and, be it FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors directs the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors to send copies of this resolution to USF President Stephen A. Privett, the USF Board of Trustees, Congresswoman Pelosi, Senators Feinstein and Boxer, and the Federal Communications Commission.

SF Supes Consider Resolution To Save KUSF January 25, 2011 4:44 PM
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has now been asked to weigh in on the sale of radio station KUSF by the University of San Francisco. Last week, the lights went out on the nationally recognized station, which has been a fixture at the university for 33 years. Students were told that a new station would return online. The sale prompted a community and student protest and station volunteer Irwin Swirnoff has asked the board to get involved. “The spot on the dial is a limited public resource that really belongs to the community,” he said. “For USF to go behind the back of the community is really a disservice to the community.” KCBS’ Barbara Taylor Reports: Campaign Continues To Save College Radio Station But university spokesman Gary McDonald said the station was sold because only a few students were involved. “One of the things that we’re going to do is emphasize the student experience,” he said. “As we take KUSF online at KUSF.org, it will be the students we’re going to concentrate on.” The resolution by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi asks the University of San Francisco to cancel the sale and asks the Federal Communications Commission not to allow the license transfer to new owners.
TODAY!!! Please Support KUSF At San Francisco City Hall!!!

TODAY, January 25 at 1:00 PM PST there will be a peaceful rally at city hall to protest the sale. Please attend this event to show your support.
The U of SF’s station is eclectic enough that it’s current top album is “Deutsche Elektronische Musik: Experimental German Rock & Electtronic Musik 1972-83” but Tom Jones, M.I.A. and The Roots are also up there. Paste reader Daniel Hooper calls it “the best place to find out what San Francisco CA sounds like.”
Protest Closure of KUSF
Fans Of KUSF Rally Against Sale Of Radio Station - News Story - KTVU San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO -- Hundreds of people rallied Wednesday night at the University of San Francisco to protest the recent sale of the campus FM radio station KUSF. The normally peaceful Jesuit University campus was boiling with emotion. Supporters of station KUSF marched across campus to confront the university president over his decision to sell the station. Workers and listeners said they were especially outraged over the fact that the station was shut down without warning. "The way you run your Jesuit University, just cutting people mid-sentence is not really a very Christian or Catholic or whatever you want to call it. That's not the way you do things," complained KUSF supporter Kevin Kunze. More than 400 people filled Presentation Theater to hear an explanation from USF President Father Stephen Privett about why the station was suddenly shut down. USF's president said he couldn't talk about the impending sale because the negotiations included non-disclosure terms. Privett added the radio station wasn't fulfilling the school's primary mission of educating students. "We run a nursing school, we don't staff a hospital. We run a law school, we are not a law firm. We teach broadcasting, we are not fundamentally a radio station," explained Privett. The station will continue online with its format of indie rock, foreign language and arts programming. But critics said that will not help listeners who don't have internet access. On Wednesday, the University of Southern California issued a statement saying it had purchased the rights to KUSF to air classical music. The selling price was $3.75 million. "Unfortunately I think a lot of colleges are seeing an opportunity for quick cash especially when public radio and religious radio suitors come knocking on their doors offering millions of dollars," said Jennifer Waits, radio blogger. KUSF supporters said they haven't given up and next they'll petition to the Federal Communications Commission to try to block the sale.
This show is loosely related to Russian life in San Francisco, Russian music made in the San Francisco Bay Area and in its homeland, and other music that the authors like. The show aims to promote better understanding of Russian culture in some of its less kitchy aspects.

The Friday Night Session is hosted by San Francisco music addicts, DJs, writers, and bloggers: Andrew Jervis (Ubiquity Records), Mike Bee (Amoeba) and Tomas Palermo (http://forwardever.blogspot.com.) Since it's official inception in 1996 the show continues to present the most vibrant selection of electronic music on the San Francisco airwaves.
In addition to the full spectrum of electronic and dance music (house, hip hop, down tempo, dubstep, disco, soul ? if we like it we'll play it!) the hosts also draws on the links between now and future directions and more vintage sounds including jazz, rare groove, dub, Afrobeat, and funk.
The show often features exclusive unreleased cuts, DJ mixes, in-studio guests and ticket give-aways to the best local events.
"Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something dusty." That's how Dennis The Menace describes his show featuring six decades of rock and roll by theme. Don't expect sets about trains, planes and automobile though. The connections are more about achieving the perfect segue, uncovering a deep musicological (or very trivial) factoid about the song or artist. All that and lots offer film tickets to indie films have made the show appointment radio on Friday nights!

Many other bloggers and social-networkers have spread the word about the abrupt banishment of KUSF from the San Francisco airwaves, but if you haven't heard 'til now, this is truly a travesty. On Tuesday, January 18, the University of San Francisco ordered KUSF's transmitter to be turned off, removed staff from the station, and changed the locks. A deal had been brokered to sell KUSF's 90.3 FM frequency to a classical music network from Southern California. No warning was given, and now one of the greatest cities in the world is without its only full-power freeform community radio station. Over the years, KUSF has been one of
the handful of very best radio stations, with tons of great underground music of all flavors, and an incredible array of cultural offerings in many languages. It was only last summer that Rice University in Houston made a move to sell the license and transmitter of Freeform KTRU, causing immediate mobilization of KTRU staff and supporters to block the sale and keep a student and community resource from becoming another dentist's office classical music radio station. The same kind of effort is quickly under way by KUSF's staff and supporters. Longtime KUSF DJ Carolyn Keddy joined me on the air this week to talk about what's happening...and a little about what got her involved with KUSF 20 years ago and what kept her motivated to stay so long.
I'll never forget the day that I first heard The Consumers...it was winter holiday break from UC Davis, and fellow KDVS DJ Todd Urick (of the "Hometown Atrocities" show) and I were driving around the Bay Area blowing mad money on as much rad garagepunk and Japanese hardcore records I could afford, plus Killed by Death and Bloodstains compilations. We'd shopped and spent 'til we could no more...or so we thought! The moment that Carolyn played The Consumers on KUSF, we got off I-80 in El Cerrito--yes, we were on our way home--and turned back around to double back to Amoeba in Berkeley, where we found our copies of All My Friends Are Dead. We bought one each for ourselves, plus a copy for KDVS which we still treasure and play often to this day. Is that a record-nerd story or what? Thank you, Carolyn, for this disease you've given me.
