KSCR Founder's Story

KSCR: In the Beginning
By Bob Moore, founding General Manager

On April 2, 1975, about a dozen students gathered in the Hancock building in an old converted audio production studio to start what has turned into a revolution: KSCR, a radio station run by and for students. Back then we were just steps removed from streaking the Row (not that we would ever admit to that now) and just a few short months beyond a Fall 1974 meeting, when we decided there needed to be a radio station where everybody could participate.

This group was much like the many that followed, I suspect. Students on KSCR’s first staff were as diverse as could be: PR majors, broadcasting majors, engineers, journalism majors, sportscasters, and a lot of students who were just music fanatics. It was a time when things really were simpler. No Internet, no laptop computers, vinyl was still king and if you wanted to do a radio show, you had the opportunity to do so if you wanted to give the time. I suspect that has not changed in 33 years.
