St. Francis radio station resumes broadcasting
KSFH Radio of St. Francis High School, 87.9 FM, returned to the air this month with a newly remodeled studio and broadcast system.
In operation since 1977, KSFH began broadcasting 24/7 last March, but went off the air during the summer to upgrade its broadcast systems. New computers from Cisco Systems, new office furniture from Hewlett-Packard and transmitter upgrades from 92 KSJO Radio, have made KSFH one of the top high school broadcasting facilities in the country.
KSFH’s award-winning Web site, www.ksfh.com, provides station information and online listening for the Los Altos, Mountain View and Palo Alto areas.
