KSLG-FM is a commercial modern rock music radio station in Ferndale, California, broadcasting to the Eureka, California, area on 94.1 FM. KSLG-FM is branded as K-Slug, which refers to the banana slugs native to the region. The station actively uses Facebook and Twitter as tools to connect with fans and local bands in the Humboldt County area. They also actively use the social networks for giveaways and contests.
History
KSLG-FM launched on May 1, 2001, three years after Lost Coast Communications secured the license from the FCC. Lost Coast Communications paid another radio operator, Eureka Broadcasting, US$70,000 to withdraw a bid for the 94.1 Frequency, then had to secure investors to begin operating.
Personalities -Present
In the beginning, KSLG had only two DJs: John Matthews, a veteran of KPFK in Los Angeles, and Dr. Syd Reagan III, "bastard son of 99 Republicans."
Matthews and Dr. Syd still man the weekday morning and afternoon slots, respectively, Matthews from 6 a.m. to 12 noon PST and Reagan from 12 noon to 6 P.M. PST. Matthews also hosts from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. weekends.
Myles Cochrane hosts his show nightly from 6 p.m. to midnight. On Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. he gives away DVD rentals (the "New to DVD Pick") and on Thursdays and Fridays at 6:30 p.m. he gives out tickets to the theaters (the "New to Theaters Pick"). He hosts a hard-rock/metal/alternative hip-hop special every night at 10 p.m. PST called "Diamondback Strikes" and an hour-long electronic music special called "(7electr07)" on Friday nights at 9 p.m.
Personalities -Past
Captain Chris P was the first evening host for KSLG. He was perhaps best known for speaking in gibberish.
Makeisha followed Captain Chris P into the night host position. She also hosted the station's first metal feature, "Get Your Rocks Off."
Mitch Hinman took over as the evening host, following Makeisha.
Ashley Ramone covered nights, post-Mitch Hinman and had a feature called "4 Degrees Of Tool" to link the rock band Tool to other artists.
Plastic Jackson hosted the evening show "Happy Endings."
Jen Savage hosted middays and from Fall 2009 to Fall 2012 she hosted weekend afternoons.
Monica Topping hosted weekend middays and the Slug Festivities Guide.
