There was a nice article in the local paper the other day about the high-school student-run radio station KYDS. You can read the article here. The station doesn’t have a strong signal but they do have a great mix of music, with real variety. You might hear current music, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, rock, punk, folk, classic rock, hip hop, singer-songwriter, all, sorts of things. And if you don’t like it, try back in a bit because they offer, as I said, real variety. Check them out at 91.5 on the FM dial. Open-minded music lovers welcome!
They operate on a shoestring budget, why not donate a little cash to help them out? Their MySpace page is here.
