KPSU

KPSU is a freeform non-commercial student-operated college radio station at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. It broadcasts 24-hours a day at KPSU.org. KPSU is one of a few Community radio stations in the United States which provides fully freeform programming. This means that the station's DJs choose all the music formats they play, without any required cuts or forced rotation. While many Community radio stations claim to feature freeform programming, KPSU is one of only approximately 6 college radio stations in the United States that is both fully free format and features no outside syndicated radio programming such as NPR or Pacifica Radio. KPSU's programming features a wide gamut of musical genres. As a college radio station, KPSU reports weekly to CMJ. All of KPSU's paid employees are students. The on-air hosts are volunteers drawn from the university population, as well as non-student community members. KPSU derives its funding from Portland State University, local businesses, and its own annual fundraising drive. The station promotes a variety of music concerts in the greater Portland, OR area, as well as live on-air performances from local and touring acts.
