Production

Production is a small but essential department within KSJS. Production makes pre-recorded audio clips that can be played on the air with the push of a button. Promos, sound effects, and public service announcements all have to be made and air by a deadline. Basically if it’s on KSJS and it’s not a DJ or music, someone spent hours in the production studio making it. The Production group is made up of extremely talented and creative people who toil for hours in the recording studio, manipulating 30 seconds of sound to be exactly what they want.Their efforts make the station more colorful and enjoyable for the listener, and gives our DJs a variety of options to play during their stop sets, holidays, or special programming.

Productions

A place for creatives of all types to unite… from writing, to recording, to editing, and more… the production department works as a team to deliver entertaining and informative content to our listeners

We collaborate with other departments in various contents, medias and platforms. We are active on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok and this website under the @ksjsfm handle!

Social media has allowed us to promote and engage in new music, conduct ticket giveaways and show you a behind the scenes of our radio station operations. We are in a technological era and social media is an important tool in the work space, which KSJS can provide you with these experiences.

Sports

The Sports department is dedicated to broadcasting Spartan Athletics on KSJS. Broadcasts include: football, baseball, hockey, soccer, volleyball, and men and women’s basketball. Along with providing commentary on the air, the sports department also collaborates with KSJS members to support the broadcasts and the teams. Broadcasters from KSJS have won awards and gone on to professional positions. To become a broadcaster or board-operator, students must have taken RTVF 21 and passed the final to become on-air eligible. Those who are not on-air eligible but are enrolled in RTVF 121 can still be a part of the sports department by keeping stats for the broadcast and attending SJSU sporting events. All games can be streamed in the link under ksjs.org/listen or you can turn your radio dial to 90.5 FM KSJS.
