Open House

KSVR Spring Open House

Looking for an opportunity to visit KSVR Studios?  Save the date for our Spring Open House, Thursday, April 8 from 8 to 10 p.m. We've picked what might be considered a unique open house time, so that you can hear one of our longest running music programs, The Massive Mix Session live in the studio with DJ Def Kawn.  April 5 to 9 is also the week of our Spring Pledge Drive, so there will be lots of action to observe!  

So, plan on visiting us on April 8 for an opportunity to tour the station, meet volunteers and staff, participate in KSVR Reads and Records and enjoy light refreshments!  KSVR studios are located in Reeves Hall, on the campus of Skagit Valley College, 2405 E. College Way, Mount Vernon. For more information call 416-7711 or email britta.eschete@skagit.edu.

Joseph McGuire demonstrates the fine points of radio interviewing at the
KSVU meeting in Concrete

Assisted by Val Stafford, Joseph presented the important aspects of radio interviewing.

In the picture on the right, Joe shows how interview data is transformed on a computer into what is known as "wave forms".

He plays the wave forms back so participants can hear the interview through the computer speakers.

Other images detailing Joseph's interesting and informative talk can be found at the KSVR-FM Flickr® page!

Joe Demonstrates Wave Forms
KSVR-FM is a non-commercial radio station licensed to the Board of Trustees of Skagit Valley College, funded with a combination of support from various sources: local business underwriters, revenue from several dances each year, an annual allocation from the Associated Students of S.V.C. and support from the Student Services of S.V.C., with staffing support from Day-Academic Department and Student Life Office.
