If You Live Next To Seattle U, Turn On the Radio
According to the Capitol Hill Blog, by way of Blogging Georgetown:
There is a low power radio station over at SU on 12th Ave. It's on 89.1 Mhz, and is very low power. One can only get it within 1/4 mile from the campus, beyonf which some religious station blocks them out. The signal is strongest at 12th and Cherry.They claim to use 1330 khz also, but didin't have any luck there. The call letters are KSUB.We live about three blocks from Seattle U, and haven't had much luck getting the station in. Then again, our stereo has a hard time getting in 103.7 The Mountain most of the time. In fact, the only radio station we're able to get strongly seems to be KEXP, which is fine.
So, for those like us, there's an online streaming feed. Apparently, they're looking for DJs, too, so now's your chance to live out that dream you developed watching Pump Up the Volume back in the day. Check the KSUB website for more info on that.

KSUB has been rocking SU for more than a decade! It is hard wired into the dorms, but the internet is probably your best option off campus.
Yet another reason to support low power radio . .
From your friendly KSUB station director circa 1997
This post just speaks to how horribly funded and promoted KSUB (and the SU journalism department in general) is.
They even play hiphop sometimes!
KSUB is alive and well!
As one of the DJs, I do warn you of the extremely eclectic mix of music. DJs are volunteers and only there because they want to be. Which is all the more reason to tune in!
Just for the sake of clarification, KSUB isn't allowed to generate money--therefore it's to be expected that they'd have a low budget.
