Thanks Jeff! Thanks FCC!

Today is a day for celebration. The studio is so abuzz that things are falling off the walls, or else that's just the bass rumble from the Bouquet next door. Recently the FCC has blessed us with 89.9 FM. That means we'll be jiggling the airwaves over Boise, and soon hopefully. As soon as we raise tons of money for a transmitter, that is. Look out KBSU, get ready for Dueling Pledge Drives!
