Wow no reviews since 2009? We have to change that. This Radio Station is so underground. Literally. In the basement of the MU, you'll find this gem! I've met a couple DJ's and fellow students...

I bet the farm that you won't ever here the same song twice on this Aggie station -- and most of the time, you won't have heard the song before -- ever. The DJ's are mostly young (students),...

KDVS

"That's too mainstream for KDVS," a station DJ remarked when asked if Stevie Wonder got played on a KDVS show featuring soul music. You won't hear big name Top 40-style musicians on the KDVS airwaves. They're not allowed in its "freeform" programming. The volunteer DJ's and engineers instead broadcast an eclectic selection ranging from blues, to folk and beyond, which includes punkabilly, "noise," Japanese pop, Punjabi hymns, speed metal and other genres you may never have heard of. There's plenty for a KDVS DJ putting a show together to choose from. The student-run station boasts the second-largest vinyl collection in the state of California (the biggest is privately held), a huge CD archive, old cassette tapes and plenty of other media. Bands of every description are constantly add to the "current" bin, which features in several new music shows. KDVS also offers public service programs including news, call-in talk shows and sports.
