KALX UC Berkeley's radio station, with 500 watts of FM Power. Also available online at…read morekalx.berkeley.edu. Really good programing and excellent DJs-too many to mention. Tuna Satana, Donut Monoxide, Moldy Fig, Poindexter, Microtone, Cuppa Joe, Vernal Pools are just some of the awesome DJs who are one of a kind always bring the most amazing music. Oh and don't forget the Nightman, who frequents the wee hours of Sunday morning and seems to gravetate towards College radio and sound collage from the "golden age" of college radio. Oh and don't. forget Last Will. And the Genderwave (difficult listening at its finest) Too many to mention. KALX is independent, and does not use AI. They could really use your support!

Great Classical Music from CLASSICAL CALIFORNIA!…read more Xlnt hosts and the way the music is presented very professional!

I have been listening to KDFC since the 1970's. It was my gateway to listen to and enjoy classical…read moremusic. But recently, KDFC hired Maggie Clennon Reberg as an on-air host and I find myself turning to other stations when she is on the air. I find her voice grating and annoying and her commentary silly. I am a former classical music radio host, so I know from what I speak. I have often contributed to KDFC in the past, but if I contribute again, it will not be with the kind of unbridled generosity I have in the past. Of course, all this could change if only Ms. Reberg disappears.

This station rocks! For some odd reason, the Bay Area somehow feels it is too hip for mainstream…read moreTop 40 stations (we haven't had one since Z95.7), so for those of us in the East and South Bays, KOHL certainly fills that void! Now, I'm into the backpacker underground stuff as much as the next man (I used to play hip hop on 90.5 KSJS), but there is definitely a place in my rotation for some hit pop. The DJ's aren't the greatest, since they are all student trainees at a JC (not on the level as us KSJS'ers), but that's not what you listen for. Also, one of the few shows that breaks away from the Top 40 format is "Lowridin' with JJ," and it is one of the finest programs on any station! It basically talks about local issues within the Latino community, and he spins some great Motown oldies to go along with it. I'm not Latino myself, and don't ask me how Motown is at all related to their subject matter, but JJ is one cool dude, nonetheless! Someone needs to sign this man right now! He deserves to be on the professional airwaves.

I like KOHL - ya know in the mornings, when you dont feel like listening to a corny morning show…read moreand lots of blah, blah, blah... I listen to 89.3 and get to hear music during my morning commute. They play more variety and not the same old stuff like the other 2 stations (94.9 & 106.1) They play the same stuff over and over.. 89.3 throws in some rock and other types of music. Yeah some may be a bit inexperienced, but you gotta start somewhere. Ya know what I mean?

I listen to this radio station from New Zealand. I began listening when I heard of Sister Wanika's…read moreprogramme - Uplift! The Music of John Coltrane. Since then I have greatly enjoyed the range of musics that the djs play. Blues, R&B, soul, reggae, world, latin, gospel, salsa, and more. As well as community programming. AND!! it is non commercial so it is free of hype and djs that sound like Energizer bunnies. Really pleased to have come across this great radio station.

This is one of my favorite radio stations. I usually listen in the morning when I have to go out…read more I like the morning show with Greg and Benny the best. They are a funny group and I especially like the ghostbusters segment where they find out why people get stood up after dates "ghosted". The stories are unbelievable! Come on guys get a clue lol. I also like love trap where they catch cheaters. Plenty of relationship drama there. I also like when they call Greg's mom Ginger in Texas. She is quite the character. Funny and witty every time! You can find these segments online if you are outside of the Bay Area.

They go by San Francisco Community Radio these days, but it's still made up of the KUSF staff that…read morewas "exiled" by the University of San Francisco when the U decided to sell off their FM community broadcasting license (for a profit?) to a conglomerate from SoCal a few years back. They are no longer affiliated with USF, but they soldier on, bringing cutting edge music to listeners on the internet via a live stream and a series of podcasts. You can spot their events on the music calendar from time to time at places like Bender's in the Mission. They need support, however, so make some time to check them out and donate either time or money to their cause. You won't regret it. Note: A few days after this review was written, I signed up to do some fundraising for them myself. Hopefully, I'll be able to help them stay around a while longer.

I totally went blank and couldn't think of any songs - I was so excited to win. Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" came to mind and I blurted out those words before I could stop myself. Whatever. I won two free tickets to see Exodus playing at the Brendan Theater in Concord. Several months ago my co-worker won pastries and coffee for our office from the same station. It's pretty cool to be able to win prizes just for tuning in. I'm a fan!

Great radio station. Give these guys credit for a few things:…read more 1. Locally owned and operated...there aren't any of these in the Tri Valley. 2. Independent...not affiliated with a big network. 3. Supportive of our community. They do a lot of public service. We took our cub scouts on a tour here last week and everyone was so nice!
