History of KUSC
KUSC 91.5 is a non-profit public radio station in Los Angeles, California. It is owned by the University of Southern California and is the only classical music station licensed to a university in the western United States.
The station first went on the air in 1946 as KBIG-FM, a sister station to KBIG (1130 AM). Both stations were owned by Big Broadcast, Inc., a local company that also owned several other radio and television stations in the Los Angeles area. In 1965, KBIG-FM became KKLA-FM, a religious radio station. The station was sold to National Religious Broadcasters in 1971.
In 1981, the station was purchased by USC for $5 million and became KUSC. The USC Thornton School of Music operates the station. It is one of the most listened-to classical music stations in the country.
