What is KPIG?
We're an anachronism - a throwback to the days when real DJs picked out the music, and listeners expected something more from a radio station than just a couple of hundred songs repeated over and over, with some "big voice" guy yelling about how great it all is. We're also - to the amazement of all of the radio "professionals" who make the rules we thumb our noses at - very successful, though we try not to let it go to our heads.

KPIG's program director, Laura Ellen, news commentator Travus T. Hipp, bad boy Unkle Sherman, all worked at KPIG's predecessor, the world-infamous KFAT, during that station's 1976-1982 lifetime. The rest of the Pig crew is also well-seasoned in the art & craft of "progressive" radio.

We invite you to browse the PigSqueals for proof that our listeners are just as passionate as we are.

KPIG is located in Freedom, California - near Santa Cruz - and radiates a mighty 2,850 watts from a knoll (bare - not grassy) in scenic Prunetucky-by-the-Slough. We broadcast at 107.5 FM - and in spite of having perhaps the worst signal in the area, we're frequently rated #1 in our market (in Adults 25-54). Click here for the latest ratings (persons 12 +).

We were also the first station in the world to webcast our audio (we've been webcasting continuously since 8/2/95), and over the years we've acquired a fanatical world-wide following.

Please take a moment to read a little about Laura Ellen our guiding light, who we miss dearly.
