KZSM–From the vintage heart of San Marcos

Our 24/7 KZSM.org broadcasts extend all over the world, but they emanate from the heart of San Marcos. Our studio occupies a vintage storefront half a block off the square at 216 North Guadalupe. The space has been many things, most recently an audio/video studio. The mixer, microphones, speakers, and computers that put out our signal share space with an impressive collection of antique radios, cameras, and recorders, along with hundreds of vinyl recordings. Posters celebrate bands that have performed in the studio or at one of our Kissing Alley concerts. Window displays often change with the seasons; we have had mermaids, ghosts and goblins, a huge stuffed Garfield, and now a 6-foot teddy bear who loves radio and refuses to leave.
