KUCI, a non-profit station, broadcasting from the University of California at Irvine, offers the most extraordinary lineup of talent on the air and online. As one of the very first radio stations to broadcast via the internet and one of the first iTune podcast stations, KUCI provides the widest array of voices and music imaginable.

Join the KUCI family. Call 949.824.5824. Donate now!

Since its beginning in 1969, KUCI has produced non-commercial talk and music programs that expand the universe of its listeners, introducing artists and thinkers before their work hits the national and international spotlight. Today, every sound organized in time — political right, middle and left, classical music, punk, reggae, world, experimental, indie, goth, jazz, rock, and folk — is heard regularly on KUCI programs.

Your support plays a major role in KUCI's outstanding lineup.

Authors, comedians, actors, directors, artists, musicians, scientists and politicians — Mikhail Gorbachev, No Doubt, Garrison Keillor, Eminem, Joseph Wilson, Busta Rhymes, Janeane Garofalo, Nels Cline, Anne Lamott, DJ Shadow, Jon Lovitz, Jurassic 5, Rilo Kiley, Paul Krugman, David Lynch, Mike Watt, Ray Bradbury, Cesar Chavez, Thrice, Dashboard Confessional and Monty Python's Flying Circus — have all been guests of KUCI.

KUCI is seeking donations to help with daily operations and station improvements. Your financial help to continue our important programming is greatly appreciated.

You can donate by calling 949.824.5824 or online by visiting UCI's egiving site.

Please help sustain KUCI. Join our family and become part of Orange County, California’s cultural heritage.
