Our Crowdfunding Groups
UCLA Radio is made up of over 150 unique, creative, and passionate students dedicated to bringing quality programming to our listeners. UCLA Radio has been broadcasting on campus since 1962, when we were established as a “terrestrial radio station” in the basement of Dykstra Residential Hall. Now operating out of a cave in Ackerman and broadcasting online, our audience consists of listeners in such diverse places as Australia, Russia, Italy, England, and Brazil.
The station is completely student run and supported in part through charitable donations and our own fundraising efforts.
Our eclectic programming features shows spanning a wide variety of musical genres as well as talk radio shows featuring comedy, news, and sports content.
In 2012, our station was named the #1 Student Run Internet-Only College Radio Station in the country by College Music Journal.
UCLA Radio has grown a great deal over the past year. Our listener base has expanded tremendously and we have been lucky enough to attract in station performances and interviews with the likes of Shamir, Paul Perkins, and MUNA. In addition, we have presented multiple shows at local venues such as the Regent and the Echo. The attention we have been receiving is extremely exciting for all of us and we hope to use this momentum to expand our brand and interact more with the greater UCLA and Los Angeles community. The money raised through this project would allow us to purchase equipment that improves our ability to record and broadcast content outside of the station, expand our music library, and continue to furnish our station and provide our in station guests with the professional hospitality they deserve.
UCLA Radio provides a creative and intellectual outlet for students at the undergraduate and graduate level. In addition, it provides other students, and members of the greater Los Angeles community a source of news and entertainment. We are able to give new artists a platform to showcase their artistry and gain more of a following. With your help, we can expand the reach and professionalism of our station, to more of the Southern California community and beyond.
