The brainchild of Professor Clarence Flick, it went on the air on February 11, 1963, with only 85 watts of power.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metroactive.com/arts/KSJS-Turns-50.html |title = KSJS Turns 50 {{!}} College Radio {{!}} San Jose State University|date = February 7, 2013}}</ref> The studio is located in Hugh Gillis Hall, easily accessible to [[acronym:RTVF|RTVF]] majors. Originally, its transmitting antenna was installed atop the Walquist Library Building on campus, but broadcasting range was adversely affected due to the nearby Bank of America Building's superior height. Today, however, its transmitter atop Coyote Peak broadcasts 1,500 watts, allowing the station to be heard by the entire [[Santa Clara Valley]] and much of the [[San Francisco Peninsula]]. Currently, the station features five musical formats: [[urban music|urban]], [[electronic music|electronic]], [[alternative rock]], [[rock en Español]], and [[jazz]]. In addition, KSJS has student-produced broadcasts of [[San Jose State Spartans]] [[sports teams]], including football, basketball, and baseball.
