KSFS Goals
Mission Statement
KSFS Radio "Free For All" is an internet based radio station operated by the students of the Broadcast & Electronic Arts Department at San Francisco State University. We provide cutting-edge, free-form radio with varied programming including music, theater, talk, art, & information. The shows we stream seek to push the boundaries of what radio can be, but are always focused on our listeners. KSFS serves as a training laboratory for students and as a radio station for the university, the city of San Francisco, and our worldwide internet audience. We intend to be an integral part of the ongoing media (r)evolution and the myriad communities we serve, and to offer a dynamic educational experience for the students of San Francisco State University.
