KUGS FM: Radio by students, for students

KUGS FM is a student-run radio station out of Western Washington University. While most modern-day radio stations utilize a pre-programmed digital playlist, DJs at KUGS take a more tangible approach by curating their own shows with physical media such as records and CDs. In this video, 2022 KUGS Program Director, Montana Siddle, explains what makes the station unique among others.

What started out as a simple backyard game for friends and family in the late ‘60s, pickleball has evolved into a national craze. It is still strongly rooted in Washington, becoming the state’s official sport in 2022. Its wild popularity in the Bellingham area fostered pickleball clubs, campus competitions and a new buzz among younger generations. It’s no longer just a game for your grandparents.
