KYDS Gets Some Help From The End

One of Sacramento’s many musical treasures is radio station KYDS 91.5 FM. It’s operated by the students at El Camino High School and features an eclectic mix of music, reminiscent of the free-form radio of the late sixties. For people who love music and want to hear something different it’s a very nice option.

But four years ago they renewed their license late and just rececntly the FCC hit them with a big fine. The Sacramento Bee did a big feature about it. But wait! There’s some great news. Local radio station 107.9 The End has offered to pay the fine! (read about it) How great is that of The End?! We here at SacMusicBlog give mad props and a big thank you to The End. The radio scene needs the student alternative and the students need a place to learn the craft.

“We have a soft spot in our hearts for students starting off,” said John Nelson, 107.9 marketing director. “And this way they can raise a lot of money and buy stuff they really need.”

And you too can help keep student-run, non-commercial radio alive by contributing to KYDS in their fundraiser this weekend or anytime else…
