Radio Programs Playing Acoustic Music in Southern California

This page presented in fond memory of Brian May.

Southern California still has some acoustic music available on the radio (no thanks to KPCC, KUSC and Mark Schubb at KPFK)-- if you know when and where.

Do you have any corrections, or know of any other programs that should be on this list? Please inform the webmaster.

Since the end of the outstanding evening music programming on KPCC (after they were bought out by Minnesota Public Radio), weekdays (and nights) on Southern California radio are unfortunately a true wasteland for lovers of acoustic music. Wasting a perfectly good FM signal on talk radio is an idea so stupid it must have come from Minnesota.
