An Update on Classical California

To our loyal listeners and supporters, 

These are dynamic and challenging times for public radio. Like many of our counterparts across the nation, Classical California has had to take the difficult but necessary step to reduce our workforce in order to ensure our ability to continue providing access to world-class classical music.  

Despite our best efforts, the fact is that Classical California has experienced a reduction of $1.1 million in support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This, along with other impacts, requires us to make difficult decisions across KUSC-FM and KDFC-FM. We are so grateful for the incredible talent behind the microphones that have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today. 

Classical California is the largest and most listened to public radio and non-profit classical music station in the United States. We remain committed to continuing to be your home for classical music. As a listener-supported station, we need your support of KUSC, now more than ever.  

Thank you for your trust and belief in our mission. Together, we will continue to share original and relevant musical experiences that inspire greater engagement in classical music. 

James A. Muhammad  President, Classical California
