==History== |
|||
'''KSLG-FM''' launched on May 1, 2001, three years after Lost Coast Communications secured the license from the [[Federal Communications Commission|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.<ref name = "NCJ">[http://www.northcoastjournal.com/050301/news0503.html#anchor444791 K-SLUG hits airwaves], North Coast Journal, May 5, 2001, accessed 13 June 2013</ref> |
|||
The station uses their website, [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] as tools to connect with listeners in the [[Humboldt County, California|Humboldt County]] area. They also actively use the airwaves and social networks for giveaways and contests.{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} |
