KPFC FM
Camp Sweeney is home to an FCC licensed non-commercial radio station, KPFC-FM. KPFC-FM transmits on the 91.9 FM frequency and its translator, K206CD, transmits on the 89.1 FM frequency. It also operates as a live internet station and can be heard worldwide online. In addition to a 24-hour mix of music and news programming, many of the major camp activities throughout the summer are broadcast live for parents and friends of campers. These broadcasts are also available as live and on-demand video podcasts as part of the Camp Sweeney Video Production program. Camp Sweeney is the only camp in the United States to be granted an FCC-FM licence to operate such a station. Both KPFC and the video production program operate out of studios located on the campgrounds. KPFC also operates a satellite studio at Callisburg High School. During camping sessions, campers who select "Broadcasting" or "Video Production" as one of their daily activities play a major role in the programming of the station by producing various shows, news reports, weather forecasts, and other video and music programming. This is a great starting point for those interested in entering the radio or television industry in the future; several former campers and staffers have gone on to study RTV at college and work for other radio and television stations throughout the country.
