::SOME INFO FOR YA::

We're a local Sacramento, CA radio station based on campus at Sacramento State University. KSSU is an online station, which streams live 24 hours a day at www.KSSU.com and also has a small AM signal that broadcasts on 1580AM around campus. KSSU was started in 1989 and "has transformed into an award-winning station run by about 60 volunteers and staff personnel with listeners all over the world. And it still operates from campus"

Since the summer of 2005, after going online, the station's audience has nearly quadrupled, as has its staff (from about 20 or so in 2004, to about 60 by the end of its Spring 2007 run). This growth is due to a revamped promotions team which has unofficially partnered with Unique Programs at to Sacramento State; promotions and support from Capital Public Radio and Associated Students Incorporated (ASI) the campus's student body and KSSU’s rebroadcast partnership with KYDS 91.5 El Camino High School radio which started in the Fall of 2007.

According to DJ Rob Fatal, KSSU's station manager as of Spring 2008, this new growth has lead to increased opportunities including interviews which are made available for download on KSSU.com's "media" section. These interviews include Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, Gogol Bordello (this KSSU interview features lead singer Eugene Hutz performing an unreleased track that was not put on the new album Super Taranta!, as well as performing a rare, early form acoustic version of the song "American Wedding" which did appear on Super Taranta!), rapper Pigeon John, Los Abandoned, the Aggrolites, Rise Against, Of Montreal, and international acts like TAT from London, England and artist/ graphic novelist Christie Shinn from Toronto, Canada.
