KSDB-FM, branded as Wildcat 91.9 FM, is Kansas State University's campus radio station. A non-commercial radio station located in Manhattan, Kansas, broadcasting on 91.9 MHz on the FM dial, Wildcat 91.9 is staffed exclusively by students at Kansas State University who gain valuable experience in all areas of radio broadcasting. It plays new alternative and hip hop music, as well as a range of local specialty programming, and is under the jurisdiction of the A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication.
The station has been broadcasting on the FM band since spring of 1950 and is currently located on the third floor of McCain on the campus of Kansas State. Previously, the station broadcast on the campus carrier current AM system, and had studios located in Nichols Gymnasium. When Nichols burned down in 1968, Wildcat 91.9 operated from temporary locations until McCain Auditorium was completed. The station still maintains studios and offices there, and has a separate studio located in the K-State Student Union.
Wildcat 91.9 is thought to be the oldest continuously running student-led college FM radio station in the United States, perhaps even the world.
