History
In 1979, Menlo-Atherton High School founded radio station KMAH, which broadcast local music and student programming. During off hours, the station broadcast a live audio feed of the Pacific Ocean from Fort Point, San Francisco.[1] KMAH became KCEA (named after "sea") in 1983 and switched to its present big band music format in order to attract a wider audience and financial support.[1]

gollark: (The correct meaning of "GPS trackers" is of course not those bad things which determine their location using GPS and broadcast it by other means, but better devices which pretend to be the GPS Control Segment in order to control the GPS satellite constellation and transmit their own location data via that.)
