Now, in our seventh year of providing community- based programming to engage, enlighten, and entertain you, KZSM is expanding! By the end of October, we will be on the FM dial with our familiar call letters, at a frequency to be determined. With this expansion, our mission will broaden to include emergency broadcasting, a responsibility that comes with the low-power FM license that has been donated to us by the City of San Marcos.
The City of San Marcos applied for a radio station with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) following the devastating October 1998 Central Texas floods. Many residents found that information from neighboring communities was nonexistent or inaccurate to the San Marcos community during the emergency. In 2010, the FCC approved the city’s construction license for a new low power radio station.
On November 15, 2022, the San Marcos City Council voted for the transfer of the City’s low-power FM Radio Station License (KZOS) and related transmission equipment to KZSM. We are deeply grateful for this opportunity to serve the community in one more very important way.
