SANTA BARBARA BOWL
The Santa Barbara foundation and KCRW recently have expanded coverage to the Santa Barbara area and will broadcast from 88.7. The Santa Barbara Foundation sold their top classical music radio station and according to Noozhawnk, “KCRW, which had been operating at a weaker frequency at 106.9, gave the KDB call letters to KUSC,which transferred its 88.7 channel to KCRW The previous KCRW frequency will broadcast KCRW’s all-music station, Eclectic24.” KDB continues to remain a classical music station, whereas KCRW will have a special focus on community out reach and arts. Dr. Victoria Riskin and Scott Brittingham have recently been added to the KCRW Foundation Board to aid in the transition and in implementing KCRW’s vision in expanding to Santa Barbara. There will also be a Santa Barbara advisory board created in the upcoming future. KCRW will also expand their Fringe Benefits program, allowing listeners discounts and deals ranging from the Santa Barbara Zoo to American Apparel. The station KCRW will continue to work with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Santa Barbara bowl during this expansion.
