Talk:KEXP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a bare-bones outline of KEXP history. Anyone who was actually around during the CURSE years may want to chime in on that history, which is really interesting and obviously not prominently featured on KEXP's site. -- Scarequotes 22:29, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)

The "Cubicle Army" section was taken out because it was not relevant to anything. 24.41.62.9 18:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] npr?

I don't think that kexp is affiliated with npr. They are non-commercial, but KUOW-FM is the uw's npr station. I thought KEXP made its own way? Brassratgirl 16:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC)


Brassratgirl-- I got that info from this article, as linked below in the article: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=100&page=3

It shows that KEXP is heavily supported by UW and NPR to be able to supply what it does to the public. 24.41.62.9 18:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Apparently, and to my surprise, they are. They never mention it on the air, and they don't broadcast any "normal" NPR content, but http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/archives/bestof2004/, on NPR's site, refers to "NPR member station KEXP" and http://www.kexp.org/learn/nprmodules.asp on KEXP's site is an "NPR Music Highlights" page, although it is currently empty. -- Jmabel | Talk 07:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
If you visit the station, they have an NPR sticker in their window. Melvillean 05:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KXOT now part of KUOW

KUOW is now providing NPR programming to KXOT and will turn it back on this month. (See [1]) So, the redirect from KXOT to KEXP will need to be undone. --D Wilbanks 17:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like it should be replaced by an actual article there, mentioning the former affiliation with KEXP and the new association with KUOW (plus any interesting pre-KEXP history). - Jmabel | Talk 06:08, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Financials

I reverted the Financials section that was removed by Greg Jaspan. These are public documents and referenced in one of the articles listed here. KexpWatch 18:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eli Messinger

This edit changed "Sherman Peabody (Eli Messinger)" to just "Eli Messinger". I don't remember him ever DJ'ing under his real name... - Jmabel | Talk 03:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
