KSLG-FM is a commercial modern rock music radio station in Ferndale, California, broadcasting to the Eureka, California, area on 94.1 FM. KSLG-FM is branded as K-Slug, which refers to the banana slugs native to the region. Its parent company is Lost Coast Communications with sister stations KHUM, KXGO and KWPT.[1]
History
KSLG-FM launched on May 1, 2001, three years after Lost Coast Communications secured the license from the 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.[2]
The station used MySpace,[3] Facebook and Twitter as tools to connect with fans and local bands in the Humboldt County area. They also actively use the social networks for giveaways and contests.[citation needed]
