Welcome to Classical California KUSC!
Classical California is our new umbrella brand, providing us a space where our current strengths (KUSC and KDFC) can co-exist alongside our aspirations for new services that nurture a love of classical music for all.
Building Classical California
Our radio stations are strong and will remain vital local community organizations, but our listeners have encouraged us to do more. In a fragmented media world, delivering curated classical music with a human touch takes away from the everyday stress and helps us escape to a different place. California is a land of innovation, creativity, and curiosity. Our attitude is inclusive and approachable, and we welcome all on whatever your classical music journey might be.
New Curated Playlists
The Great Escape
Whether you need that musical deep breath or need to push the musical reset button, we have your Great Escape at the touch of a button. Hosted by Robin Pressman.
