KUGS is a college radio radio station in Bellingham, Washington located at 89.3 MHz FM. KUGS was founded on January 29, 1974 as a 10 watt radio station. In 1984 this was increased to the current 100 watts. KUGS remains an independent and fully student managed college radio station. In 1997 was the second station in the US to broadcast content online using a "see you see me" format, which ended in 2002. In 2006 KUGS began webcasting again through its website. In 1999 the station applied to upgrade to a 700 watt station. The FCC issued a construction permit for a 700 watt transmitter for the station in late 2006.
