History
[edit]Bob Hartwig
[edit]Online streaming
[edit]In 2010, the radio station migrated online where it broadcasted on IBM's Ustream. In 2019, the radio station migrated from Ustream to YouTube, then to Twitch.
Social media
[edit]In 2017, Nessie Lane Atwood became the Program Director and started promotion by making handmade posters and putting them up on the window outside the station.[8][9][10] They got the attention of the students and the college administration, being a fan favorite amongst the school population. [11][12]Soon after, Nessie debuted the radio station onto social media and began gaining a significant online following. KGUR's posts on Instagram have garnered thousands of views, and several followers across all platforms. [13]
Captain Lokknessie
[edit]Nessie's shows became one of the most popular, due to the intricate visuals she would post on her personal Instagram page.[14] Her shows originally consisted of shock-jock material, outlandishly using sarcasm and edgy humor to get a reaction out of the listeners.[15] She was the first to open song requests, having stated that "the only way to get listeners is to help them feel listened to"[16].[17] The combination of the flashy posters, the edgy content, and her creative DJ persona Captain Lokknessie, an undead sailor captain, her shows skyrocketed into internet notoriety.[18]
Over time, her style shifted from the dark sailor captain to a DJ being held hostage by a computer, and eerie concept where she has become a computer program forced to play songs chosen by an algorithm, instead of having a heart and soul to guide the music.[19] This was inspired by vaporwave, Lofi and Frutiger aero, along with the glitch-core aesthetic.[20] In recent years, she has opted for a more calming, chill, laid back style, using an ASMR like voice to entrance the listeners.[21]
