KPSU-AM is a freeform noncommercial student-operated radio station at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. It broadcasts evenings and weekends at 1450 kHz AM (shared with KBPS). It is also available campus-wide at 98.3 MHz FM and 24 hours a day at [KPSU.org].

KPSU is one of only a few college and community stations left in the United States which provide fully freeform programming. This means that the station's DJs choose all the music they play, without any required cuts or forced rotation. KPSU's programming features a wide gamut of musical genres including, but not limited to, indie and punk rock, electronic music, hip hop and rap, experimental, underground metal, jazz, world music, folk and alternative country, psych and garage rock, rockabilly, exotica and lounge, soft rock, and noise and even talk radio and public affairs programming. KPSU reports weekly to CMJ, providing a top 30 of the new releases played on-air.

Most of KPSU's employees are students, including its station manager and directors of programming, music, production, development, and promotion. The on-air hosts are volunteers drawn from the university population, as well as a diverse pool of community members. KPSU derives its funding from Portland State University, local businesses, and its own annual fundraising drive.

The station promotes a variety of music concerts, and features musicians from across the country and around the world. KPSU also hosts the weekly show, "Live Friday," which features live performances by an assortment of local and traveling performing groups.

In addition to conventional radio transmission, the station streams broadcasts live on the Internet and archives several weeks of programming in hour long MP3 format. Archives may be downloaded, or subscribed to as a podcast at [KPSU.org]. KPSU is Metro Portland's only city-wide independent and student-run radio station.
