The station is an NPR affiliate, airing programs like *Morning Edition*, *All Things Considered*, and *Fresh Air*, while also producing local news segments focusing on Southern California and cultural affairs. Beyond music and news, KCRW offers diverse cultural programs, including talk shows, comedy, documentaries, and film reviews.
