KCRW - Thank God for College Radio!

KCRW's programming reflects the diversity of the community it serves. National Public Radio's Southern California flagship station, KCRW airs more news programming from National Public Radio than any station in the Southland. KCRW also produces award-winning literary and drama programs within its studios.

Named 'Best Bit of Everything' radio station by Details magazine, KCRW's innovative and acclaimed programming has been recognized with significant press coverage in Los Angeles and around the country and the world. In recent years, the station's local cultural and public affairs programs have won The George Foster Peabody Award, Ohio Awards, the Cindy, the Major Armstrong, The Radio and Television News Directors Association and Corporation for Public Broadcasting Awards. The station was twice named 'Nation's Best Non-Commercial Station' at the College Media Journal's New Music Awards, and in 1994, was the first public radio station ever to be honored with a Crystal Eagle Award from the Coro Foundation for meritorious community service.

After reading a review in the UK's Uncut magazine, they talked about the "buzz" created for Ray Lamontagne when he played The Troubadour in West LA recently - and attributed it to KCRW. I have now added it to my streaming radio channel that I listen to while I help people refinance their homes. Keeps me young.
