KCSB is Santa Barbara’s only independent and non-commercial station, creating soul-stirring and people-powered radio for the Santa Barbara area! This is true radio from the ground up, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without you <3

WHO WE ARE

KCSB is funded primarily by students and the community at large. As a non-commercial, educational FM station broadcasting for the public interest, KCSB enters into no commercial contracts, where we strive to provide programming substantially different from that carried by commercial broadcast media. It is also designed to be educational for both programmers and listeners.

UCSB students and community members are provided an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of radio broadcasting for free, and an opportunity to be a part of a growing community! KCSB provides a platform to a diverse group of programmers who are managed by UCSB students and advised by staff to get marginalized voices and carefully curated independent music on the local airwaves. 

HOW TO VOTE

Voting takes place THIS MONTH, and ends August 30th at 11:59pm. 

On the Santa Barbara Independent’s voting page, you can vote for Best S.B. Radio Station under the MEDIA section. 

In order for your KCSB vote to count, you must vote for at least 20 different categories! Now is the perfect opportunity to show appreciation for all of your favorite local Santa Barbara spots and sensations—and of course your favorite radio station!
