WFMU hosts a live remote broadcast featuring KUSF dj's!
In an act of solidarity with the Save KUSF movement and the legions of KUSF 90.3FM supporters still in shock over the sudden silencing last month of San Francisco's beloved freeform radio station, Amoeba Music San Francisco will join forces with New Jersey's WFMU radio this Friday, February 18th, to host an all KUSF DJ live remote broadcast that will be on WFMU airwaves back... east as well as streaming online on WFMU.org. KUSF DJs spinning music sets during the 3 hour instore that begins at noon sharp will include Irwin (Sleeves on Hearts), Carolyn, Stereo Steve, Jantine B, Harry D (In The Soul Kitchen), and DJ Schmeejay, who was in the middle of his popular Tuesday morning show, Radiodrome, on the morning of January 18th when the plug (literally) was pulled on the 90.3FM transmitter. KZSU Stanford will simulcast the WFMU feed on both their website and on their airwaves at 90.1FM so folks in the Bay Area can tune in on their radios to hear the Amoeba in-store broadcast.
KUSF 90.3FM was a cultural oasis that featured community-based programming along with a wide variety of musical formats. On January 18, 2011 KUSF's transmitter was abruptly shut off and the volunteer staff were informed that the University of San Francisco had conspired to sell the frequency to L.A.-based Classical Public Radio Network with no input from the students, volunteers, or local community.
We are fighting to stop the sale and keep KUSF on the airwaves!
