About KUCI 88.9 FM
KUCI 88.9 FM is a student-run, noncommercial station licensed to the Regents of the University of California and based at UC Irvine in Irvine, California. Broadcasting on 88.9 MHz, it reaches listeners in Irvine, Newport Beach, and nearby Orange County communities. Since its founding, the station has served as both a training ground for students and a creative outlet for alternative voices in the region.
The format is entirely freeform, with programming that spans independent and underground music, specialty genres, and live sessions from local bands. In addition, KUCI airs talk and public affairs shows produced by students and community volunteers, reflecting diverse perspectives often absent from commercial outlets. Its adventurous playlists, experimental approach, and strong campus ties attract an audience that values originality, discovery, and a distinctly local flavor in radio.
