Time on-air
KFAT was on the air from 1975 until January 17, 1983. The station was co-founded by Laura Ellen Hopper (1950–2007), Jeremy Lansman, and Lorenzo Milam, who helped start many of community radio's pioneering stations in the United States. Though KFAT is long-gone as a broadcast station, its legacy lives on via Santa Cruz area station KPIG-FM, as well as a few tribute sites and even a streaming webcast station.
