KUSC (91.5 MHz FM) is a listener-supported classical music radio station broadcasting from downtown Los Angeles, California, USA. KUSC is owned and operated by the University of Southern California, which also operates student-run KSCR. It is the largest non-profit classical music station in the country and the only classical radio station in the Greater Los Angeles Area (following K-Mozart's move to talk radio on October 29, 2007).

Notable local programming [http://www.kusc.org/new/Programming/schedule.php programming] includes Dennis Bartel's weekday morning show, Rich Capparela's weekday afternoon program, Jim Svejda's weekday evening show, Duff Murphy's Saturday opera show, and special features by Gail Eichenthal. Other announcers include Alan Chapman, Charles Andrews and Kimberlea Daggy.

The station holds three membership drives annually to help support operational costs. These drives usually last less than 10 days. Corporate sponsors include Lexus, Miramax Films, University of Redlands, Universal Music Group, City of Hope National Medical Center and Providence Health & Services.

Transmitter network

† KDSC is non-directional (fcc.gov). Coverage pattern is not circular due to mountains to the NE which block line-of-sight, FM transmission. Any interference with the 91.1 in Mexico goes both ways and is caused by a phenomenon called 'ducting.' Ducting occurs most often along coastal areas, particularly during Spring and Fall when temperature inversions occur. Ducting causes VHF signals to travel further than normal. All VHF signals (FM is in the VHF band just above TV channel 6) experience periodic interference from this phenomenon.
