Every year, KSPB also presents live broadcasts of various local sporting events.
At the core of KSPB is its student-run programming, which airs every day. Because each student disc jockey chooses the genre of music for their specific show, music programming is as diverse as the DJs, but tends to stay hip and contemporary. When student programming is not available, the station rotates broadcasting from theBBC World Service andClimate One at theCommonwealth Club of California.
The station is student-run and includes staff positions, from web master to program director. Before applying for a live show on air, each student is required to take a class to learn aboutFederal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, and how to operate the station independently.[3]
KSPB, its faculty, and student disc jockeys have received several awards throughout the station's history. Most recently, the station was recognized by theMonterey County Weekly in its "Best of 2011 - Editor's Picks" in the category of "Best Evidence That The Kids Are Alright."[4][5]
