KXGO is a commercial alternative rock and indie music radio station in Ferndale, California, broadcasting to the Eureka, California, area on 94.1 FM. KXGO is branded as K-Slug, which refers to the banana slugs native to the region. Its parent company is Lost Coast Communications with sister stations KHUM, KXGO and KWPT.[1]
History
KSLG-FM launched on May 1, 2001, three years after Lost Coast Communications secured the license from the FCC. Lost Coast Communications paid another radio operator, Eureka Broadcasting, US$70,000 to withdraw a bid for the 94.1 Frequency, then had to secure investors to begin operating.[2]
The station uses their website, Facebook and Twitter as tools to connect with listeners in the Humboldt County area. They also actively use the airwaves and social networks for giveaways and contests.[citation needed]
On July 1, 2014 KSLG-FM changed their call letters to KXGO.
