| LSU’s Office of Student Media  “Unique and eclectic” are words used by KLSU program director Brenton Francois to describe the variety of music programs offered by LSU’s own campus radio station. This description, however, is not limited to KLSU—it also describes LSU’s entire collection of award-winning student media. Combining digital technology with a blend of music ranging from reggae to underground hip-hop to punk rock, KLSU (91.1 FM) prides itself on playing a mix of music not found on any other Baton Rouge radio station, according to Francois. The station recently converted its entire CD collection to digital format, allowing all of the music programming to be done by computer. The regular daytime programming of KLSU consists of mostly alternative rock, but the mix of specialty programs, which begins at 9 p.m., is what makes KLSU unique. These programs include “The Indie Show,” consisting entirely of independent rock, “The International Show” and “Saturated Neighborhood,” highlighting world music, and “Spontaneous Combustion,” one of Baton Rouge’s longest-running jazz show that has been on the air for 27 years. Student media at LSU does its part in utilizing the latest technology to meet the news and entertainment demands of the campus community. Written by Jacob Landry | Mass Communications
