89.7 FM KUMM is a 500-watt Alternative station from the
University of
Minnesota
Morris.
The call letters are derived from the school's name but the single
sperm cell in their logo leaves little doubt about which "KUMM" they're
referring to. With call letters like that it's a short leap to
provocative station slogans such as "Sowing The Seeds Of New Music Since
1972" and "KUMM Is For Lovers." For a while they tried downplaying their sexy call letters and even emailed me to ask if I'd take down a photo of one of their t-shirts. I did but then put it back up after getting receiving that "Let's KUMM" sticker and I knew they were back to their dirty ways.
