KSRH ("The Sound Difference") is a 10-watt, low power radio station in San Rafael, CA, which broadcasts on 88.1 FM. KSRH is owned and operated by San Rafael High School. It is operated by high school students. All of KSRH's funding comes from the San Rafael School District or from PSA's (Public Service Announcements), and there are no commercials.
Though KSRH is a high school radio station, it is on 24-7. The live broadcasts are from 11:30 a.m.-2:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and from 11:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, and the other times, the shows are pre-recorded. KSRH operates on weekends, holidays, and during summer vacation using the automation system.
KSRH's signal can be received in the neighborhoods of Downtown San Rafael, the Canal Area, Gerstle Park, and in Sun Valley. Its signal is only 10 watts, so it can not be received from long ranges due to the geography of San Rafael. San Rafael has steep hills on three sides, and the San Francisco Bay on the other side. KSRH's broadcasting tower is only 59 feet tall, and is directly attached to the main building at San Rafael High School, which is only 23 feet above sea level.

- Also notable, was the performance of two superstar personalities that were far ahead of their time, often shifting whole pardigms within one show. They were known as "The One and 0nly" (aka Oscar M.) and "Andy T." The former was known for coming to class inebriated on cannibus, yet pulling off superlatve performances. The latter was known all throughout the class of 1999 for his rough and tumble attitude. One of the key facets of their show (named "On an' Crackin'") was the unique mix of Slayer tracks which smoothly blended into tracks of such performers as Spice-1 and Young Lay. They graduated in the class of 1999, both placed in the lowest 10% of their respective classes.
