KBCU (88.1 FM) is non-commercial, educational radio station, broadcasting a Variety and College Radio format from the campus of Bethel College (Kansas) in North Newton, Kansas, and serving the Newton area.[2] The station was founded in the 1930s, and transmits a wide range of student programming, including rock, hip-hop, alternative, Latin, contemporary Christian and sports talk shows, and reaches all of Newton and much of Harvey County.[3]
The radio station is operated and staffed by more than three dozen Bethel students and a faculty advisor, and allows Bethel College students to receive academic credit for their radio participation. There are facilities for broadcast and production for students, providing them with real-world experience which was the first mass-media broadcast experience for many Bethel alumni who went on to careers in mass media and broadcasting.
KBCU is affiliated with the Pacifica Radio Network.
