KZSC is an FCC-licensed radio station broadcasting 24/7 from the campus of UC Santa Cruz at 88.1 on the FM dial. The donations we receive help continue our station's mission to train the next generation of radio professionals!
KZSC's 20,000-watt broadcast signal reaches over one million listeners in three counties! We're a vital link in the regional emergency broadcast system and provide noncommercial, community-driven, educational radio to our listeners.
UCSC students the heart of our station! They provide the leadership, training, and outreach to our staff of student and non-student community members. For over 55 years, KZSC has broadcasted cutting-edge public affairs and news programming, mixed with an eclectic variety of music. Many of our DJs have launched from KZSC into careers in broadcast media, podcasting, and professional music production and performance.
All funds raised during the 2023 Spring Give will go toward replacing our main air room's broadcast mixing console, which has endured daily use for the past 15 years and has reached the end of its serviceable life.
Thank you for your support!
