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. Its parent company is Lost Coast Communications with sister stations KHUM, KXGO and KWPT.

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.

The station used MySpace, 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.

In the beginning, KSLG was: John Matthews, a veteran of KPFK in Los Angeles, and Dr. Syd Reagan III, "bastard son of 99 Republicans." Matthews still mans the morning slot from 6 a.m. to 12 noon PST.

Myles Cochrane hosts from 12 noon to 6 P.M. PST.

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.

Dr. Syd Reagan III hosted afternoons until November 2012.
