KEXP 90.3 FM

KEXP 90.3 FM is a Seattle radio station known for championing independent and emerging music. It began in 1972 as KCMU, a station founded by University of Washington students, and became KEXP in 2001. It is operated by Friends of KEXP, a nonprofit arts organization, and broadcasts today from Seattle Center.

KEXP is best known for live in-studio performances, a tradition that dates to 1982, and for DJs who choose the music themselves rather than following a rigid format. The mix leans toward indie, alternative and rock, with plenty of world music, hip-hop and electronic along the way.
