White Pelican Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 When I saw that it was gonna be on Kshe I figured they'd get complaints. Cranky damn old people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky damn old people. Yeah, they're apparently too old to have their own iPods/MP3 players or to figure out how to organize their music on their smart phones (assuming they're not too old for them, too). WSIE (88.7 FM, SIUE's radio station) ordinarily plays jazz 24/7, but they interrupt that programming for broadcasts of any and (perhaps) all sporting events the Cougars are participating in. My dad's solution? He turns it off. If SLU had its own radio station, they could keep the broadcasts themselves and not have to worry about conflicts with professional teams' games.

almaman Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 glad we are switched to a strong signaled station. I feel for the sweetmeats of the Lou that tuned in to hear same songs they've been playing last 50 years to hear "Jam time!!" blasting at them. I listen to 88.7 often and when I tune in sometimes they'll have SIUE baseball play by play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our own radio station - KBIL when I was in school. It was located on the top floor of the old Communication Building at the corner of Grand and Laclede - now gone. The station's signal was only really available on and around campus so it would not have done what you wanted. I am not even sure if it still exists. At one point a radio station in Billings MT wanted to buy the call letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are RadioBoy, you should know. All I know, I was sitting in one of the chairs outside the station, there was music coming out of speakers, and there were call letters on the window. Maybe it was some other radio station? Don't know. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention other than to listen while I sat. Maybe I should not have connected the two dots.

brianstl Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It is sort of crazy for me to actually think the Billikens were on KSHE. It was at one time the most influential rock station in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, KSHE should join Canada in officially apologizing for Bryan Adams. Box and Won, SLU_Lax, TheDude and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we have to worry about a full blown riot on social media over KSHE playing SLU basketball games. I do wonder how many wannabe Sammy Hagars used their landline telephones to call the station to complain. I feel sorry for whoever had to take those calls.

Speaking of Lux, I can only imagine the tweets from the hardcore rock crowd if the Bills got pushed to 105.7. It amazes me how whiny that section of music fans can be when something isn’t their style of music.

DiehardFan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm almost positive the radio station still broadcasts on campus. I have a friend who is a veteran who ran a show during lunch hour a few years ago on the SLU station. I don't know the details though.
