History

KCSC was originally a student-run classical music station when it signed on in 1966. KCSC adopted its name from when the university was known as Central State College. When the school was elevated to university status as Central State University, it tried to change the calls to KCSU, but those calls were already being used by Colorado State's student station. In 1978, it built a new 400-foot tower and expanded its signal to 100,000 watts, extending its coverage to nearly all of central Oklahoma. The station started becoming a more professional operation in 1983, and by 1985 had become Oklahoma City's main NPR station. Oklahoma City had been one of the largest cities without a full-market NPR station. Previously, parts of the city got grade B coverage from Oklahoma State's KOSU and the University of Oklahoma's KGOU.

In 1993, however, KGOU built a repeater in Spencer to better serve Oklahoma City. Central and OU agreed to adopt non-conflicting schedules in 1996. Although KCSC was the more powerful station, it dropped all NPR programming to become an all-classical station, while KGOU became central Oklahoma's main outlet for NPR programming.^[1]

KBCW signed on in 1999.

HD Radio

KCSC is also broadcasting in HD Radio. A Hot Adult Contemporary station is broadcast on the HD-2 signal of 90.1. That station is branded as UCentral Radio and is the student run radio station at UCO.^{[citation needed]}
