KSLU (FM)

On December 14, 1973, Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU) applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for the construction permit to build a new 10-watt educational radio station on the campus.

[4] The station began airing public radio programming in 1982, providing the format for the first time in the Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish area.

[7] However, after Hurricane Ida in 2022, the station was knocked off air as the facility sustained substantial damage; streaming was resumed from studios in Cardinal Newman Hall.

[11] That same month, after stunting for 39 hours with "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, the station shifted to a classic rock-based music format emphasizing the 1980s and 1990s.

[12] In fiscal year 2022, KSLU was predominantly funded by the university, by way of contributions and student fees, and by grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
