KUSF WFMU show - Feb 18th, Noon-3pm at Amoeba San Francisco

In honor of the greatness that was (and hopefully will soon again be) San Francisco's KUSF 90.3FM, New Jersey's WFMU radio will turn over its airwaves to some of KUSF's finest DJs for a special live 3-hour remote radio broadcast from Amoeba Music San Francisco on February 18th. Former KUSF DJ and current WFMU DJ Billy Jam will engineer while music sets are spun by KUSF DJs Irwin, Carolyn, Stereo Steve, Jantine, and DJ Schmeejay who was in the middle of his show last month when the plug (literally) was pulled on the 90.3FM transmitter. Additionally these DJs, all active in the fight to Save KUSF, will talk about the latest in the ongoing battle to return the Bay Area institution that is KUSF to its rightful place on the FM dial. There will also be a KUSF information table set up by the Amoeba stage area where the live broadcast will take place. Amoeba Music is located at 1855 Haight St., San Francisco, CA 94117. The broadcast will take place on Friday, February 18th noon to 3pm local San Francisco time. It will be broadcast live back in Jersey City's WFMU studios on 91.1FM in the NY & NJ areas as well as streamed online at wfmu dot org

his time around I reconfigured my setup so I could set up both of my turntables, so it's a little more vinyl intensive music-wise. Also one of my decks has a reverse gear so there's a couple records (with backward recorded content played backwards.

SF Supervisors Majority Vote to Help Save KUSF

Denise Sullivan published on February 9, 2011

http://www.crawdaddy.com/index.php/2011/02/09/sf-supervisors-majority-vote-to-help-save-kusf/

The students and community volunteers of KUSF-FM won a small victory on Tuesday in the fight to save the University of San Francisco’s (USF) radio station from an untimely, unannounced sale and change of format at 90.3. In a three to eight majority vote, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors resolved to oppose the sale of KUSF’s FCC license to classical station KDFC, whose license would in turn be sold to classic rock station KUFX. Initiated by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, the Board’s resolution is an important document in the station’s favor as it moves toward review by the FCC, the government agency that can ultimately stop the pending sale. Citing KUSF’s service to its community, its 6 p.m. till midnight nightly broadcasts, all day Saturday and Sunday cultural programming, and its award-winning music format, the resolution also commends KUSF for its support of the arts, foreign language, disabled, and senior communities. The board further resolved to urge Senators Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi to contact the FCC asap to express their opposition to the transfer of the license. Well done, SF Supes!


Last month, USF suddenly closed the KUSF broadcast facility without prior notice, locking out DJS and staff from the studios. Ever since January 18, students, community volunteers, and the listenership have been united in an online campaign to win back the airwaves. Facebook, blogs, letters and a petition all made the rounds; a rally was held at City Hall. This animated short lays down the implications of the sales and transfer of commercial versus non-commercial FCC licenses quite clearly. Sitting Music Director Irwin Swirnoff has largely played the role of tireless station spokesperson, while university officials who addressed public concerns immediately following the closure have maintained their position that the deal is done. However on Monday, the University of San Francisco Faculty Association got in on the act to save the station: The union organization representing over 300 teachers and librarians signed off on a request to USF and the FCC to cancel the sale proceedings.

One alternative proposed by staff and its supporters suggests the station be allowed to fund itself. However, at this stage of the process, it is not up to USF to withdraw the move to sell; rather it is up to the FCC to undo it. The case comes up for review with the federal commission later in the month.

In the meantime, the station is broadcasting online with a skeleton crew. Most of the students and community volunteers have resigned; they are the ones who need your continued support in the fight to Save KUSF. This weekend’s KUSF Rock ‘n’ Swap, a semi-annual vinyl, rarities collector’s meet that has been going strong for over 20 years will be held as usual on the USF campus Sunday morning. Doors open at 6 a.m. for earlybird swapppers. Shopping the swap for vinyl has traditionally been a way to show support to KUSF DJS and staff; money raised from the event contributes to the station’s operating costs. However as fate of the station’s broadcast future is yet to be determined, it’s hard to say what role this season’s Swap plays. Learn more about KUSF and donate, not only because you support college and community bandwidth, but because you love music and free-format programming. And if not for that, do it in memory of the Ramones: In the early ’80s, KUSF was the only station to play their music within SF city limits. Joey expressed his appreciation by posing for the above classic photo taken a by punk photographer, Bobby Castro, at the KUSF studios.

City Hall final meeting on Tuesday

For 33 years KUSF was an essential voice on the Bay Area FM airwaves. It featured unusually diverse, cutting edge music and a broad range of cultural programming not heard elsewhere on the dial. The university abruptly pulled the plug on the station under a $3.75 million deal that transfers KUSF's 90.3 FM frequency to classical music station KDFC, just purchased by a University of Southern California-controlled nonprofit. KDFC's old frequency, 102.1, is being taken over by rock station KUFX.

The move is part of a larger deal that still requires Federal Communications Commission approval. The organization saveKUSF is fighting to block the sale of the broadcasting rights to 90.3fm.

The university plans to make KUSF an online-only entity. KUSF enjoyed a mix of students and volunteers from the community. Community volunteers will not have a role with the on-line KUSF.

DJ Carolyn's Letter To The San Francisco Chronicle

I am very disappointed in the University of San Francisco's recent decision to sell the broadcast license for 90.3 FM, where KUSF sat ("Hundreds protest decision to shut radio station KUSF," Jan. 20).

KUSF was a valuable resource to San Francisco. The station's locally produced programming exemplified the unique diversity and eclecticism that is San Francisco. KUSF broadcast in nine languages, giving a voice to those who have few other outlets through which they could be heard.

President Stephan A. Privett's blatant disregard for the people of San Francisco through this sale and the way it was handled is shameful. Although corporate deals involving commercial stations are common, stations in the public-radio frequency range should be treated differently. These stations are specifically set aside by the federal government for community service and noncommercial purposes. The transfer of these licenses should not happen without input from the community the station serves.

The University of San Francisco sought no community input in its decision to sell the frequency. The University of San Francisco and the community of San Francisco should come to a mutually beneficial solution to allow KUSF to remain intact on the broadcast dial at 90.3 FM.

01.30.11 10-12 AM Freefall DJ David Bassin Ty Segall To Perform at Today's Save KUSF Rally, FreeFall Lives Again Online

By Ian S. Port, Tue., Feb. 1 2011 @ 9:30AM
http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2011/02/ty_segall_to_perform_at_todays.php

Well, the radio station at 90.3 FM is gone, and the website will only take 15 listeners, so anyone who wants to listen to their favorite KUSF show these days is pretty much screwed, right?

Wrong -- sort of. Today, as KUSF supporters prepare for another demonstration at City Hall -- this one featuring a performance from local garage-rock hero/former KUSF DJ Ty Segall -- and as the Save KUSF campaign continues in full force with T-shirts, posters, letters of support from famous people, and more sadness, we bring you a small present: DJ David Bassin's show FreeFall, a sweet two-hour set of "future jazz, R &B, global grooves & abstract beats." Hearing it feels like a tonic, even if it isn't coming through the airwaves. Check it out after the jump.

"We've been away for a couple weeks due to all the craziness with KUSF," Bassin, says at the opening of his 10-year-old show, a decidedly understated way of putting it. "It's you and me together again."

Then Bassin launches into a two-hour journey through various rhythms -- electronic beats and Latin grooves included -- making for perfect morning music. Sadly, it can't help but remind us of everything music fans (and fans of free-form radio in general) have lost with the station's sale. Stream or download Bassin's latest show below, and show up to City Hall at 1 p.m. today for the rally, Segall performance, and signing of a resolution.

Freefall

David Bassin hosts an eclectic two-hour mix of future jazz, R &B, global grooves & abstract beats tat has received international acclaim since it's debut in 2000. Weekly rebroadcasts are available on Live365.com , Giant Step.net (NYC), Net-Musique.com (San Francisco). RadioTake10.org (China), DanceAnd Soul.com (Singapore). RadioPellenera.com (Italy) and the weekly podcast, available for free from the iTunes music store.
