    One of my favorite radio stations in the Bay Area. I found out about KOHL after Z95.7 disappeared. Gotta love the Top 40 hits on the radio!

    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.

    I only visit Santa Cruz twice a year, max, but I've actually listened to KZSC 88.1 more on my…read moredrives down the 101 near the towns of Gonzales and Soledad than I have when driving around Monterey Bay. Normally at that point of the drive, it's early afternoon on Saturday or Sunday, so I often hear the same DJs or at least the same shows that have been hosted by different DJs--college students, I assume. The music can be good, bad, or totally random, especially how the songs are juxtaposed. That's the beauty of true college radio, and I don't begrudge them their poor taste or lack of knowledge of seminal bands from the '80s and '90s--and yes, I know that they were born in the 2000s, but I was born in the late '70s and I still knew from a young age who Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and many of the Motown artists were. What does bother me about this station--and something ugly about true college radio--is how much dead air there is. It's not just too much time between songs or occasionally hearing hot-mic incidents; it's a more regular thing, and I've heard the same DJs apologize for the same issue over and over. Again, I get it that these are (mostly) college kids who are learning a skill, but they should be better, which leads me to believe there's very little to no engineering help for the DJs. There's also too much advertising, but I can't single KZSC out for that, and some of the hyper-local ads are funny. I'm glad it's my audio companion for at least part of my regular trips to SoCal, but it could be better. And they need more shows devoted to music.

    KZSC is always there for me. A student run radio program…read morethat covers all grounds. From "for fun" segments like tarot card and star sign readings to organized playlists by the students that branch into new genres and subcategories of music per student hosting, the fun never stops.

    This really pains me, but i have to write an honest review. KSCU is just not a very good station…read morefor one main reason: there arent enough deejays that work there. Thus, more times than not, there is a compilation playing rather than a real live person spinning music. Sometimes there will even be just dead air. Yes i could write about the glory days of KSCU and how it used to be an amazing college radio station, but then the review would be pointless. Yelping, to me at least, is about NOW. They do still co-sponsor midnight movies at the camera cinemas, and I give them a star for that. the other star is for the few deejays they do have. But i have to go back to this: with the same comps. playing the same songs over and over again, kscu is just really hard to listen to. someday they might get back to their old ways, but until they do, 2 stars it is.

    As a former DJ & music director, KSCU to me is like the bad boyfriend you keep going back to. We…read morealways had this co-dependent relationship. KSCU has provided me with so many great memories and access to an amazing selection of music. And it also provided me with plenty of headaches. But no matter what, you will always have a special place in your heart for it [him]. But as a listener to KSCU, and all headaches aside, like any true fan of your favorite sports team, you stick by it [KSCU] through the good and the bad. I guess I kinda liken KSCU to... , the Warriors. Not the last year and half version of the Warriors with all of their bandwagon fans, but the Warriors that have sucked balls for the previous handfuls of years. Admittedly I dropped the Warriors when NBA went on strike years ago--hard to put up with whiny sports players who make ridiculous amounts of money. Anyway, KSCU has had some pretty great years previously, and sure the station is kinda at a low-point, but its way more accessible than abstract KFJC garbage (minus a handful of shows) & KSJS's over-programmed format. KSCU still offers some great programming (when live DJs are on, yes) as mentioned by other Yelpers. And its the easiest underground station to get involved with. So support it, yo!
