KUCI
Underground music & talk since 1969

KUCI, one of the oldest, continuously-broadcasting radio stations in Orange County, began broadcasting from the campus of the University of California, Irvine in 1969.  Beginning with music and news, it has flourished and expanded to become a local institution to its loyal audiences. 

 

For over 50 years, the station has been powered up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  With its limited resources and its 150 devoted volunteers, KUCI researches and produces all its own shows.

 

KUCI is:

  • a place where you can hear a greater range and diversity of music than on any other station in California.
  • an intimate setting for guest artists performing live, in any genre, from punk to classical.
  • a broadcaster of public affairs including politics, science, culture, sports, business, technology, and relationships.
  • the home of live broadcasts of Anteater sports events.
  • a place of learning and memory making for students of media and communications.
  • a launch pad for thousands of young people and members of the Orange County community yearning to express themselves and share their passions.
  • a studio for interviews with national and international radio networks.
