KUCI essentially started as a pirate radio station, because even back then, there were people sick of commercial radio. There are currently no independently owned commercial radio stations in the greater Los Angeles area. This is the reason that if you call up a commercial station and request a song, you won't hear it if it's not the flavor of the week. Public affairs shows are not immune to this, either. There are almost no people who are willing to express a non-politically correct opinion, because they are deathly afraid of losing sponsorship.
We are the last bastion against crappy, sound-alike radio in Orange County. We are the voice of freedom for all the independent music that gets snubbed by the major labels. We are the defenders of the faith for those who choose to express a different opinion. We are Corporate Rock's worst nightmare. We are the middle finger in the eye of every 3-piece-suit wearing corporate talk-radio puppet! We are e.) none of the above. We are KUCI, and we answer to NO ONE!
KUCI Programming Policies
1. NO MAINSTREAM MUSIC... we will not tolerate playing mainstream music, and even then, they better not have been TOO famous. We are pioneers and once the world discovers what we've been up to all along, we move on to the next band that needs to be heard.
2. Our talk shows examine subjects mainstream radio won't. Our hosts dig deep into subjects that are interesting but somehow not "interesting" enough to warrant being on a mainstream station. We encourage expression of all kinds and it shows in our diverse talk programming
