Info
KEXP-FM (90.3 FM) is a public radio station based in Seattle, Washington, that specializes in alternative and indie rock programmed by its disc jockeys. Its broadcasting license is owned by Friends of KEXP, an independent 501(c)(3) organization. The station operated under the call letters KCMU until 2001, when a partnership was formed between Paul Allen's Experience Music Project and KEXP, which provided the station with significant funding through 2005. Since then, KEXP has operated independently by Friends of KEXP.Besides the alternative rock that fills most of KEXP's schedule, there are weekly programs dedicated to particular musical genres, including rockabilly, blues, world music, hip hop, electronica, punk, and alternative country. Live, in-studio performances by artists are also regularly scheduled.In addition to HD FM radio, the station is streamed on the Internet, and broadcast on Intelsat's Galaxy 18 satellite.Music licensing fees associated with internet radio are covered by the station's affiliation with National Public Radio (NPR). The association and financial help by these two organizations have allowed KEXP to experiment with its online offerings.
