varied selection of music and notable interviews to the two University student residence buildings (Rundle Hall and Kananaskis Hall) via low-power carrier-current transmitters at AM. A cable FM broadcast began in 1972 at as part of a government project. Employing ten students, the station ran 24 hours per day under the name Calgary Student Radio (CSR). The project coordinator at the time Mark Sikstrom, who now works at CTV as the Executive Producer of ctv.ca, called the station's format "Progressive Middle of the Road," which would eventually become the FM commercial radio standard. Calgary's first female music disc jockey, Deborah Lamb, worked the 4 to 8 PM slot in the summer of 1973.

In 2009 this incident was immortalized on CD by Calgary band The Bownesians in their song "How Allen Saved the Radio Station". After two days of peaceful protest with community and media support, and meetings with station executives Bill Reynolds & Grant Burns, the new SU executive reconsidered and
