KSCL 91.3-FM is the student-run radio station broadcasting from the campus of Centenary College of Louisiana. The station broadcasts 24 hours a day to the cities of Shreveport, Bossier City, and other surrounding communities. KSCL was Shreveport's first public radio station. The station is located in the heart of Centenary's campus. The station prides itself in being a progressive station dedicated to community events and alternative music, from college rock and jazz to local Acadian music and zydeco.

KSCL is a student-run radio station. The DJs are all volunteers, and the governing positions are filled by students.

Mission Statement

KSCL is a non-commercial, education FM radio station programmed and operated by the students of Centenary College. KSCL is an extension of the Centenary College liberal arts education, where students and faculty work together to build a community focused on ethical and intellectual development. To this end:

Students decide what goes on the air.
KSCL programs provide access to underrepresented voices.
KSCL events and programming are attentive to the needs of the local community and supportive of the regional culture.

History

Dr. Webb Pomeroy, chairman of the Communications Committee, first proposed the idea of "Centenary Radio" in 1972. Four and a half years later, KSCL went live on March 19, 1976. The first Station Manager was Jay Reynolds. Reynolds said that KSCL would be "alternative" and "like no other station in Shreveport." The original inventory contained 120 albums, several pounds of "worthless 45's", and two top quality turntables. The entire cost for the station was less than $700. The initial operating hours were from 6pm-12am Sunday through Thursday, and 6 pm until 2am in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays. The original ten-watt amplifier and antenna allowed a broadcast range of two miles. The individuals instrumental to the birth of the station were Dr. Webb Pomeroy, Maurie Wayne, Jay Reynolds, and Doug Stewart.

During the beginning, a lot of help came from Ruston's college radio station KLPI. Their staff and adult-ers spent a lot of time helping the students understand the rules and regulations of the FCC along with the requirements for public stations.

In 1999, local public radio station Red River Radio proposed to buy a share of the station's broadcast time. The students and office of development clashed over the issue. It was finally decided that Centenary preferred to have its radio station run by students and students of Centenary, as opposed to those of LSUS, where Red River Radio is located.

Trivia

Apples in Stereo frontman Robert Schneider was a KSCL DJ back in the day.
