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: `^([a-z]+:)?([A-Za-z_0-9+=-]+)(?:\/([A-Za-z_0-9+=-]+))?$` - observe my mildly eldritch regex.
