informative and engaging broadcast programming in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Objective journalism, productive dialogue and appreciation for the arts form the core of KCLU's service. As a source of information and cultural enrichment, the station seeks to serve a broad range of citizens in the region. KCLU's programming reflects the variety of cultures, traditions and interests that make our community vibrant and exciting.
In an age when media consolidation has reached unprecedented levels and many broadcasters have reduced their commitment to high quality news and public affairs coverage, KCLU exists to provide comprehensive local and national public radio programming.
With the support of the University, KCLU seeks to inform, educate and promote dialogue among the citizens of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties on local, regional, national and global issues. As an educational broadcaster, KCLU programming is designed to serve the needs of our community, unencumbered by commercial concerns. In addition, KCLU is bolstered by the resources and high standards of California Lutheran University, a major regional educational institution.
