[edit] History

KCSC was originally a student-run classical music station when it signed on in 1966. KCSC adopted its name from when the university was known as Central State College. When the school was elevated to university status as Central State University, it tried to change the calls to KCSU, but those calls were already being used by Colorado State's student station. In 1978, it built a new 400-foot tower and expanded its signal to 100,000 watts, extending its coverage to nearly all of central Oklahoma. The station started becoming a more professional operation in 1983, and by 1985 had become Oklahoma City's main NPR station. In 1993, however, the University of Oklahoma's KGOU built a repeater in Spencer to better serve Oklahoma City. Central and OU agreed to adopt non-conflicting schedules in 1996, with KGOU becoming all NPR News/Talk.[1]

[edit] HD Radio

KCSC is also broadcasting in HD Radio. A Hot Adult Contemporary station is broadcast on the HD-2 signal of 90.1. That station is branded as Ed-FM, 90.1 and is the student run radio station at UCO.[citation needed]

[edit] Office Location

KCSC is located at 100 N University Dr in Edmond. The request line is 1-877-359-3334 and studio line is 405-974-3333.
