KUGR (Radio Station)
Records, 1962-1984

Records of KUGR were transferred to the Washington State University Libraries in 1985 (UA1985-30). The records were processed in 1999 by April O'Riley. This guide was completed in 2001 by Lawrence Stark.

HISTORY

KUGR began operation in 1962 as a carrier current station, broadcasting to dormitories at Washington State University. It was operated by students, both as employees and as volunteers. Programming was oriented to student needs, and consisted chiefly of "study music." This experience reflected that of similar stations at other universities.

KUGR is associated with the University's Radio and Television Services and with the School of Communications. It has generally been located in the Murrow Center.

As of 2001, KUGR is a small cable FM station. Its mission is similar to that it had at its beginning in 1962, although its content is is now more "formatted," and consists chiefly of one form of music.

Other student radio stations have existed at the university. These generally have been associated with the Associated Students and the Compton Union Building.

ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION

The records consist chiefly of reports and memoranda. The Libraries received the records in file folders, arranged in no order. The folder have been placed in one chronological sequence. The exception of a series of folders entitled "Radio and Television Services."

The Libraries maintains other records of KUGR; see Archives 154.
