Our Mission
The mission of KOXY Radio 104.7 FM is to provide the student body with a creative media outlet. KOXY's diverse programming provides students and community members with individualized entertainment for social, educational, or professional interests. This also reflects the diversity of the student body and surrounding community as per the mission and goals of the college at large.
History
March 30, 2000 marked KOXY's Official Relaunch after many years of not operating. The history of a radio station of Occidental College goes back decades. The old radio station, also known as KOXY, was very popular years ago, but waning interest resulted in its eventual shutdown.
Kristian Kratz ('01), wanted to revive the radio station; a difficult job considering he had to start from scratch. He along with Ben Bergman, Josiah Gordon, Dan Krassner, Guillermina Sanchez and Michael Wesserman did all the foot work to ensure everything went smoothly; from getting money for KOXY's budget to determining and ordering sound equipment, to the smaller things like assembling the chairs in the Bengal room (the location of KOXY's office). They worked in a timeframe of about 6 months and were able to overcome the many obstacles faced.
Today, KOXY is run out of the first floor of the Johnson Student Center. The station broadcasts via "leaky FM" on the Occidental Campus on 104.7 FM. KOXY can be heard in the residence halls, the Johnson Student Center, the Tiger Cooler, near by off campus housing, in the Women's Center, 1601 and the various Greek houses. For anyone living outside Eagle Rock California the station can be heard through our webstream which can be accessed under the listen tab.
