They say you can never go home again, but 色情视频 college radio station KCR has come pretty close.

Several dozen alumni, current students and supporters gathered to celebrate the move from Aztec Center to the new location in the Communications building on Saturday, May 1. The new studios provide more space and storage, and are located back on the west side of campus close to KCR鈥檚 original home studios.

New studio name honors longtime supporter

The studios were formally named the "Lauston Ozonee Studios," the tongue-in-cheek on-air name used by longtime KCR Radio faculty/staff advisor Skot Norton when he was a student broadcaster.

For nearly 30 years, Norton, KPBS' chief technologist, has served as a volunteer supervisor, mentor and inspiration to hundreds of students who have participated in radio station activities. Norton has also provided engineering support and been a tireless advocate and fundraiser for station activities.

"I am honored and humbled by this recognition," Norton said. "Although, to be honest, it had been my hope to auction off the naming opportunity for the spiffy new KCR studio in order to garner much-needed financial support for the station.

"Working for so many years with these aspiring broadcasters, particularly the student leaders, and watching as they gain confidence and competence is a privilege I cherish. I am very much moved as they return to bestow this recognition and accept on behalf of all who join with me to foster the advancement of student-run radio at 色情视频."

Alumni involvement

"I was so excited to be able to be part of this rebirth of KCR in their new location on campus," said Bruce Greenberg, KCR Radio Alumni Association president. "With the extra room and new equipment, courtesy of both the AS and the KCR Alumni Association, a new generation of kids will find a musical home on campus.

"As an alumnus of KCR I am very proud of everything that Skot Norton has done to keep KCR alive. I was also very excited to see the financial support promised by many of the alumni that attended the event today. At 40 years old, KCR is alive and kicking," Greenberg said.

Marti Emerald, San Diego City Councilwoman representing the district that includes 色情视频 and KCR, honored Norton with a proclamation commending and thanking him for his many years of service to the station.

A naming plaque was presented and installed in the new studios during the reception held for visiting alumni, students and supporters.
