KDNZ

KDNZ was a student-run radio station at the University of San Francisco in San Francisco, California.  This article says that they were founded in 1963 as an AM station.  By the late 1990s they were broadcasting concurrently on 880 AM, 88.1 FM, local cable TV channel 3 and online.  The demise of KDNZ was largely due to a lack of student involvement.  Another factor could be that there weren't enough people on campus to staff both KDNZ and the school's other station, the more popular KUSF.
