History
In January 1973, several community activists from Lincoln (Ron Kurtenbach, Tom Gedwillo, Mike Carper, C. Greg Preston and Bill Laughlin) formed Sunrise Communications, a non-profit corporation. Through fund raising and word-of-mouth, the necessary monies for a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) application were obtained, and filed in early 1974. KZUM first broadcast in 1978 after negotiating over signal interference with an Omaha TV station. Several buildings housed the station until it located to its present studio and offices on South 48th Street. KZUM is also carried on Lincoln's Time Warner Cable TV system and streamed worldwide at its website.
Programming
KZUM is powered by nearly 100 volunteer programmers, 7 days a week. Several programmers have been with KZUM virtually since its inception including Eric Bachenberg, Jim Anderson and Hardy Holm. Eric's The Exposition Flyer features folk music, Jim hosted Another Blue Monday in the 1980s and 1990s and has had a variety of blues programs under many names over the years, including today's Blues Oasis. Hardy Holm brought local music to the airwaves as well as a popular Beatles show Strawberry Fields.
