For years, KUSP was Santa Cruz’s non-university-affliated public radio station, offering local news and extensive music and talk programming, and acting as a regional affiliate for National Public Radio.
The station went dark in 2016, but it wasn’t long before a group of citizens with a passion for public radio banded together to fill the gap. Volunteers spent two years raising over $300,000 to purchase a license and equipment to start KSQD 90.7 FM.
The station debuted on February 15, 2019, and continues to grow as it reaches its third anniversary.
“We hit the ground running,” says Program Director Howard Feldstein. “Before we went on air, we’d already decided on programming. At that point, it was a matter of bringing it all together. Since then, it’s been a matter of keeping everyone happy—and keeping something good on the air 24/7.”
Now affectionately known as “The Squid,” KSQD is operated by two part-time staff, including Feldstein, and over 100 volunteers who curate a constant stream of music and original talk shows, along with national and regional programs. Music includes jazz, folk, bluegrass, world, classical, gospel, blues and more. Talk shows include “Ask Dr. Dawn,” “Be Bold America,” “In The Garden,” “The Dream Journal,” “Cruz News and Views” and “The Computer Man Show.”
