The Live at KEXP Volume 5 article was blanked on 2024-02-12 and that title now redirects to KEXP-FM. The contents of the former article are available in the redirect's history; for the discussion at that location, see the redirect's talk page. |
This is a bare-bones outline of KEXP history. Anyone who was actually around during the CURSE years may want to chime in on that history, which is really interesting and obviously not prominently featured on KEXP's site. -- Scarequotes 22:29, Jun 15, 2004 (UTC)
The "Cubicle Army" section was taken out because it was not relevant to anything. 24.41.62.9 18:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
I don't think that kexp is affiliated with npr. They are non-commercial, but KUOW-FM is the uw's npr station. I thought KEXP made its own way? Brassratgirl 16:07, 15 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
Brassratgirl-- I got that info from this article, as linked below in the article: http://www.pastemagazine.com/action/article?article_id=100&page=3
It shows that KEXP is heavily supported by UW and NPR to be able to supply what it does to the public. 24.41.62.9 18:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
KUOW is now providing NPR programming to KXOT and will turn it back on this month. (See [1]) So, the redirect from KXOT to KEXP will need to be undone. --D Wilbanks 17:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I reverted the Financials section that was removed by Greg Jaspan. These are public documents and referenced in one of the articles listed here. KexpWatch 18:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
This edit changed "Sherman Peabody (Eli Messinger)" to just "Eli Messinger". I don't remember him ever DJ'ing under his real name... - Jmabel | Talk 03:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
what is the difference between college radio and non-commercial radio? i know that KEXP grew out of KCMU which was a college radio station, but, as it exists now, the only thing that is college radio about KEXP is that they lease the spectrum and technology from the University of Washington. What about DJs? Format? Programming? Littlewing0906 (talk) 16:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
82.72.14.136 (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)==Uncompressed mp3 stream??== Since when does a 128 kbps audio stream qualify as CD quality? CD data rates are actually nearly ten times the data rate of the best online stream that KEXP broadcasts at 128 kbps. When I make mp3 files from CD I "rip" them at 256 kbps which is still only about one fifth of the CD data rate. A 128 kbps stream is higher quality than what most other online stations use, but it is still a long, long way from an "uncompressed" CD quality audio stream. The people at KEXP who say their stream is "CD quality" simply don't know what they are talking about. I have changed the info in this article to correct the obvious mistakes.Reply
There is an uncompressed stream. It isn't a mp3 stream but a Windows Media Uncompressed audio stream. mms://media-wm.cac.washington.edu/KEXP-Uncompressed 82.72.14.136 (talk) 18:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am curious about actual information on the money that KEXP continues to get from the University of Washington (tax dollars) and why that continues even though they appear to simply be a commercial radio station that doesn't have to pay taxes. Also, what funding does the official UW radio station RainyDawg radio get from the U. I admit I don't know what the trend is in other college radio stations, but it seems sad that Rainy Dawg is ONLY internet radio. Is KEXP essentially stealing money from the communication department of UW? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.192.13.37 (talk) 05:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I don't know if this sentence, in the Website section of the article, is correct. "KEXP's website was the first site on the Internet to offer a 128 kbit/s, high-quality stream of live radio." There is no citation of a source for this information. However, in 2000, KEXP claimed to be the first internet radio station to provide an uncompressed audio stream (44,100 sampling rate, 16-bit depth, stereo). This is the equavalent to the bit rate used on audio CDs, i.e., 1.4 megabits per second. (See this press release about the event, http://kexp.org/about/kexpPR10_00.pdf .) They continue to offer this uncompressed audio stream, which can be accessed from their website's Listen Now feature. (This still may be unique, as I'm not aware of any other uncompressed 1.4 mbps audio streams available, at this time. At the least, KEXP's high bit rate, uncompressed audio stream is very rare for internet radio.) They also have more conventional bit rate streams in different formats available at this time - windows media 128 kbps stereo, 32 kbps monaural MP3, 128 kbps stereo MP3, and 256 kbps RealAudio. 98.70.114.50 (talk) 17:30, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Illustrations of their headquarters would be good. The broadcast studio, with a DJ, would be great. Also, there are many, many KEXP events and performances that could be shown. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:24, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I saw that KEXP staff has been to this article and made change proposals which have since been reverted as promotional. They are welcome to come here and discuss changes to this page. I hope that they do visit and talk because I would love to see this article and related articles connected to that organization's expertise developed.

I'm an employee of KEXP. I'm here because I think there should be a Wikipedia page for the KEXP inspired International Clash Day (February 7th). I also want to make sure I'm following Wikipedia guidelines and remaining objective. I think it's worthy of a page because (as of my talk page edit) 18 radio stations are participating in it and 9 state and city governments have participated by proclaiming it International Clash day.

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.
If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)
I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.
Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

KEXP-FM → KEXP – WP:COMMONNAME. "KEXP" is the station branding/name of the larger nonprofit, which has been involved in efforts additional to the FM broadcasting, and I thought it might make sense to use the more general name. The station appears to have been more keen about branding itself as a general arts organization,[1][2] and anecdotally I have never heard locals use the full callsign (apart in the context of its hourly IDs). KEXP is currently a redirect to the current article. Maiacosis (talk) 18:39, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
