Much has changed since the '70s, but KDVS is still open to new ideas and types of music for people willing to put in the time to play it.
Bigger stations dictate what kind of music is played.
The majority of air time is used by students, but several faculty and staff members have shows, some focusing on music and some in a talk-show format. They volunteer their time, a minimum of 30 hours a quarter, and in return have an outlet to express themselves by either playing the music they love, or communicating ideas about the campus and community. On Dudley's show, faculty members are invited to the station and interviewed on the air. Beyond that, he hopes the show is of interest to the community at large. Other talk shows address topics such as alternative health issues, political issues and arts in the community.
