=KUCI History=

The struggling start
It was a foggy day in 1968, when an engineering student named Craig Will decided to move an "illegal" radio station out from the underground and into the official bureaucratic world. 1969, the year of change, marked KUCI's first appropriations from the Associated Students of UCI (ASUCI) and started their application with the Man, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). After Craig was wounded by radiation testing and too much math homework, a brave soul named Earl Arbuckle took over the project.

Success was short and sweet. During the windy fall day of October 16, 1969 the FCC granted KUCI Program Test Authority to broadcast on 89.9 MHz, and our signal beamed into the air. The studio at the time resided in the small closet inside the bowels of the Physical Science Building. Evening only broadcasts feature records from the DeeJay's own collection. The first song ever played on KUCI was "Sugar, Sugar" by the Archies.

The growing pains
In the lovely Spring of 1971 construction began on the third floor of Gateway Commons for studio and office space. By the fall of '71 KUCI moved for the first time to this nice comfy living quarters. The library consisted of a whopping 400 records.

Finally management decided it was time to span the big leap, and in January of 1975 KUCI established a 24 hour day, 7 days a week 52 weeks a year schedule.

Then, on a dark gloomy afternoon in 1981, disaster struck. KCRW, a station sharing the same frequency as KUCI, received permission by the Man, the FCC, to relocate the antenna and boost their power. KUCI's signal was dampened to a measly few hundred yards. KUCI quickly applied for a new frequency, but the government quickly lost the paperwork. Was KUCI to become another victim of the Man, or were we to fight back. After protests and petitions by staff, students, and community members, the toil paid off and KUCI received permission to change their frequency to 88.9 fm where it continues to make its happy home.

Almost ten years later and many applications filled out, KUCI redeemed itself by acquiring the rights to raise the power from 25 watts mono. On April 23rd, 1993, KUCI became a 200 watt stereo and played "Sugar, Sugar" again to celebrate the event.

On a sleepy day in 1993 rumor became truth and KUCI learned of UC Irvine's management, the Man, was ready to tear down Gateway Common's walls for earthquake retrofitting. Just this very summer of 1994, KUCI moved it's entire operations to the temporary building called Humanities Annex, where the Center for Gender Education and KUCI name home.
