KASC Radio
Since 1982, the mission of KASC has been to provide quality radio programming for the ASU campus and professional radio experience for ASU students. Students have the opportunity to volunteer in a variety of roles, including news, sports, programming, performance, production, promotion, sales and management. KASC provides laboratory support for various courses offered by the Cronkite School. Students in broadcast reporting courses use the station's facilities, giving students critical hands-on practical experience. The station offers a college radio alternative to the commercial stations in the area. New music by national as well as local bands is the focus of the KASC format. In addition, specialty programs focus on various genres of music. Music programming is complemented by ASU news and sports features. Cronkite School Associate Dean Frederic Leigh serves as faculty adviser; Leah Miller Collins serves as professional adviser. |
