Since 1961, KCSB-FM (broadcasting on 91.9 FM in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties) has offered the opportunity to develop broadcast content for air and to learn technical and communications skills. The oldest of all of the UC radio stations, our studios are located at UC Santa Barbara (beneath Storke Tower). But more than a university radio station, KCSB is a hybrid of college and community radio, where students learn leadership and organizational skills as they work with an eclectic group of personalities of all ages and backgrounds in a student operated, multi-generational, volunteer-collective organization.

KCSB has been recognized as a champion of free speech and a key advocate for civil liberties by challenging excessive government limits on creative expression and by providing in-depth coverage of antiwar, social, racial, and economic justice activism. 

Our news team delivered daily COVID-19 pandemic email updates for Santa Barbara County and earned praise by Gauchos and their parents for keeping them informed. In 2020, KCSB was named ‘best radio station’ by readers of the SB Independent.
