The SoCal Sound celebrates music with a variety of contemporary and legacy artists that range from Adele to Zeppelin. The station fills more than 50 minutes an hour with new and independent music, providing Southern California with both revered and emerging artists. You’ll find weekday and weekend radio programs hosted by knowledgeable and celebrity DJs. Unlike commercial radio stations saturating the airwaves, you won't find The SoCal Sound bogged down by obnoxious commercials.
To accomplish this, The SoCal Sound maintains recording facilities and highly trained technicians to capture performers at their best. These moments of magic are shared with our audience via broadcast and digital platforms. In an era of standardized playlists and corporate-controlled programming, The SoCal Sound delivers content that only an independent outlet can provide. All of The SoCal Sound employees live in Southern California and play the music we know music enthusiasts will appreciate.
In addition, a partnership between California State University, Northridge, and Saddleback College expands The SoCal Sound’s coverage area to include a potential audience of more than 11.5 million listeners in Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties — serving as the most influential platform on the FM dial for new and local music.
Realizing this vision requires sophisticated music connoisseurs who recognize the important role The SoCal Sound plays in the region and nationally to invest philanthropically in the station.
Funds allow The SoCal Sound to provide a one-of-a-kind format, featuring independent records and cutting-edge releases, as well as live, in-studio sessions and interviews with legendary and emerging artists. It also helps retain talented production staff, invest in recording technology, and distribute music that the world needs to hear.
