News Focus Radio station If radio instructor Russ Jackson has his way, KKSM-FM 99 will soon take its alternative programming to the public airwaves. Jackson says there is a 50-50 chance that within two to three years KKSM will receive approval by the FCC to operate a public station. $1,500 has been approved by the Board of Trustees for a feasibility study and to retain a law firm to deal with the FCC. "In the proposal put before the administration," Jackson continues, "monies currently allocated to the program will not diminish, and any additional costs would be absorbed through support grants, much like PBS." If approval is granted, the station will have a broadcast radius between 15 to 40 miles and the signal would be located somewhere from 89 to 92 megahertz on the radio dial.
