Following the two-night Benefit Concerts for 88.5 KCSN\Los Angeles, Program Director, Sky Daniels, presented the band with a plaque thanking the band for their dedication to the station.

“The plaque is inscribed, ‘To Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers—True Believers In The Magic Of Rock N’ Roll”, said Daniels. “We gave one to the band to be hung in “The Clubhouse”, the band’s recording studio, and one hangs in the KCSN air studio to remind our jocks that every time we open the mike, we must believe in that magic!”

Welcome to 88.5 KCSN, The Music You Want!

Listener-supported KCSN is here to fill a gap on the LA radio dial, where a lot of good music has been missing for a long time. We play songs by artists who pay attention to the craftsmanship of their music. We play music by contemporary artists such as Norah Jones, The Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer. We play music by classic artists such as Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and The Grateful Dead. And we play more than their hits. At KCSN, we play the music you want.

On weekdays, we offer a music mix designed to make your commute and your workday more enjoyable. Our weekend shows, hosted by KCSN volunteers, focus on specific music styles such as Americana, Folk, and Bluegrass. If you’re looking for our classical music service, you can now hear it on KCSN HD-2 and through our sister site KCSNClassical.org

KCSN is a work in progress. We’d love your feedback. You can also suggest a song for our playlist.
