What is KSWH The Pulse 99.9?
The Pulse is one of the few college radio stations in the United States run exclusively by college students. Located in Arkadelphia, AR, on the Henderson State University (HSU) campus, the college radio station started with only 10 watts of power. That was just enough to barely reach outside of the campus!
In early 2004, the station was upgraded to 100 watts of power. A big step for a tiny station that was ready to grow. Previously called "The Switch" 91.1, the station was pushed to change names and frequencies. Our frequency would become 99.9, just left of your radio dial (most, if not all, college stations are located left of the 100.00 FM,) and the name was changed to "The Pulse". The name is based off our school motto "The School With The Heart." We are also a great indication that our school is alive!
But, music isn't everything. "The Pulse" also runs several events from on and off air contests to fund raisers. We plan at least two major events every semester which can be anything from gaming contests held outside on a two-story screen to a competition of men in drag duking it out to see who makes the best "whoa"man.
"The Pulse" is currently working hard to serve the Henderson and Arkadelphia community and working even harder to get yet another upgrade to become a 250 watt station. But we can't do it alone! We need your help as well. Visit the Sponsor's page or become one of us by taking Courses in broadcasting at HSU (undoubtely one of the fastest ways to get right to the booth and immediate on-air experience) or visit our Contact page to talk to us directly. Suggestions, donations, questions, advice, we would love to hear from you so we can make The Pulse the most stellar college radio station it can be.
