KXSC Radio (formerly KSCR) is the 100% student-run radio station of the University of Southern California; we are volunteer, non-profit, donation funded and we provide the USC community with original radio programming 24 hours a day. KXSC traces its roots to the original KUSC, which was operated by students starting in 1946. KUSC transitioned to classical programming and moved off-campus in the mid-1970s, but students still demanded a broadcast voice. So on April 2, 1975, a dozen students gathered in a converted production studio to start KSCR, a radio station run by and for students. KXSC has undergone yet another revolution with our new home in the Ronald Tutor Campus Center, but our approach to radio is still the same: All-student run music, sports and news departments that encourage diversity and a chance for USC students to work at a real radio station.
