Classical KDFC 🇺🇸

Classical KDFC, established in 1948, serves as the San Francisco Bay Area's exclusive classical music radio station. Owned and operated by the University of Southern California (USC) Radio Group, KDFC distinguishes itself through curated programming and dedication to classical music. The station's programming includes the "Morning Show", "Evening Concert", and "Saturday Morning at the Opera", alongside interviews and live performances. Serving San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and surrounding communities, KDFC offers a wide range of classical pieces, from orchestral works to contemporary compositions. KDFC experienced a significant shift in 2011 when sold to a commercial broadcaster, but USC Radio Group acquired the KDFC call letters, ensuring classical music remained in the Bay Area. KDFC relies on listener support, corporate sponsorships, and university support. KDFC's website, kdfc.com, offers live streaming, program schedules, playlist information, podcasts, news, and articles. Actively involved in the Bay Area's arts scene, KDFC sponsors concerts, partners with local arts organizations, and promotes classical music education. KDFC's knowledgeable announcers provide context and history for each piece.
