For decades, KUSC has championed the power of classical music by making it available for everyone in our community to enjoy. First we did that with an expanding network of radio signals, and later on our website and smartphone apps.
But listeners have been asking us to do more… more community events, more streams, more videos. More classical music for more people!
We’re committed to serving Southern California listeners through our FM signals, but we’re seizing the moment to partner with our sister station, KDFC in San Francisco, to offer more ways to enjoy classical music shared with our welcoming California style.
A new venture needs a new name, and we’re proud to announce Classical California!
We have lots planned! Stay tuned to learn more about Classical California and the new streams, videos and events it’s bringing to this community and beyond.
