   Comments: Save KUSF because the community - student and otherwise - needs it! Killing its core, changing its entire structure, is a tremendous disservice to USF students and decades-old fans of the station.

   Comments: I grew up listening to KUSF. I am shocked and disappointed at the way this sale was handled. Some kind of recourse has to be offered to the students, volunteers and the community that the station serves.

   Comments: This radio station has served SO MANY different communities within San Francisco for many years. USF handling of the situation has been disrespectful beyond measure. This transaction is yet another painful example of the financial interests of a few trumping the greater interests of a local community. The sort of diversity that drew so many of us to live in the Bay Area is being compromised by situations like this. If this sale is allowed to go through, it is a huge symbolic loss for the city, in addition to the direct loss of a cultural institution.

    Comments: This is a travesty. KUSF is part of San Francisco's culture. The radio station brouht you respect from around the world. Selling it off in the way you have done has brought you loathing and disrespect instead. Make this right. Bring back KUSF to it's rightful place: 90.3 FM. On the RADIO.

    Comments: But I am a local musican/songwriter/producer who has appeared on KUSF in the past with my band. www.facebook.com/ingdom www.ingdom.com Beyond simply liking the station, I recognize the importance of having an outlet where other voices, outside the mainstream of commercial radio, can be heard. This is especially true for a major city such as San Francisco. KUSF helps San Francisco maintain its presence as a cutting edge musical and cultural center.

    Name: Punk Rock Joel on Jan 20, 2011

    Comments: I’ve been listening to KUSF on the radio for over 18 years now, for more than 20 hours in a typical week. KUSF introduced me to music I otherwise would not have heard, sparked my passion for punk rock, and changed my life. I listen to KUSF on the radio while I’m in the car and while I’m doing things around my house (with one radio on in my bedroom and another in the kitchen). I can’t listen to an internet station in the car, or when I’m not near my computer. Indeed, the few times I’ve tried to listen to internet radio, I either can’t get the station, or the stream disappears after a little while. While the University claims that it will be continuing KUSF as an internet station, its current actions belie that claim. When it turned control over 90.3 to another entity without FCC permission, the internet site went dead. Even if it does revive the internet aspect of the station, I have not heard any commitment from the University that it will retain the wide range of free form music and community programming that make KUSF so important. Indeed, its statements suggest that it will not do so, that it will replace community based radio with a program for student training, where content can easily be controlled by the faculty and administrators that run the student training program. While the would be purchaser of 90.3 claims that it had to conduct the negotiations in secret, I have heard no justification for why the transition to the new owners had to be done immediately upon reaching the agreement for sale, without warning to the community, and why that transition could not await the required FCC approval. Indeed, the transfer happened so quickly that the classical radio station was broadcasting simultaneously on its old and new frequencies. It seems obvious that this sudden transfer was a tactic to prevent any organized opposition, and to present the transfer as a fait accompli. The overall effect of the series of transfers will be that a community based station will disappear, and that there will be yet another commercial “classic rock” station cluttering the airwaves. This is not in the public interest and we should let the FCC know that.

    Comments: I am a former college DJ from KFJC and so enjoyed the rivalry between KUSF, us and other college stations. KUSF have hosted numerous live shows and are a valuable asset to SF and parts of the bay area. My current neighbor even had a talk show on KUSF years ago. I still spin at our local NPR affiliate in Sonoma County. College and public radio are the only outlets that provide content commercial radio will not. There must be a better option so both stations can thrive. Why KDFC and KUSF can't join forces and split their programming is beyond me.

    Comments: KUSF is the most culturally diverse and invigorating radio station I've heard in my 50 years living in San Francisco. WIth the demise of this station, another thread of my connection to the community of this city is cut and the quality of my life here diminishes. An online version of this station cannot replace the radio broadcasts, because we can't log onto computers everywhere we go. This uniquely San Franciscan cultural resource must be preserved somewhere, somehow!

And I also strongly believe that it is our duty to support and to protect KUSF in the same way that it has provided for everyone local, independent, diverse, and intellectual music programming.

    Comments: For the 12 years I've lived here in San Francisco, KUSF has been a huge part of my life. It's turned me on to new music, reintroduced me music and artists I hadn't heard in a while. Woke me up with a surprise genre of music everyday. It was so nice to be able to turn on the radio and be pretty sure I was going to like what was coming out of it and not have all those obnoxious commercials you hear on commercial radio. Please keep KUSF for the community!

    Comments: The loss of KUSF on our local airwaves means so much to so many people in our city. I can't think of a finer example of community radio than KUSF. The way the University of San Francisco has handled the hush hush backroom deal of selling the signal and FCC license is truly appalling and disturbing. I attended the rally and witnessed Father Privett's poor attempts to answer the questions and merely repeat the three or four answers he vaguely had shared. In short, based on the non communication with the staff and volunteers of KUSF and the community USF is leading a bad example by the way business is handled and what their "special interests" actually are. Unfortunately there are other examples of community/college radio stations disappearing from the landscape in favor of more homogenized airplay. USF jumped on an easy opportunity. In a city where cultural diversity is supposed to be celebrated, USF is turning it's back in favor of a quick buck and forgetting the original mission and policies of the school and their practicing religion. What would Jesus do?
