History

This radio station started broadcasting in 1968 under the supervision of Richi Caldwell as a part of the new radio broadcasting teaching program at the Spokane Falls Community College.[1]

In 1995, Spokane Falls Community College eliminated its teaching program in radio broadcasting as a cost-cutting move. At this point, KPBX stepped in and bought the station, using it as a full-power translator to serve areas of Spokane where KPBX' main signal was weak.

On July 1, 1999, KSFC broke off from KPBX to air an expanded format of news and talk programming, including several NPR shows that had previously not been available in the Spokane area. It simulcasts many of NPR's most popular programs with KPBX.
