USC's Classical California Network Achieves Top Ratings in Public Radio
The USC-owned Classical California network has achieved significant success in the latest Nielsen ratings. KUSC-FM, based in Los Angeles, has become the most-listened-to public radio station in the United States, surpassing even major NPR news stations. The station reached 698,000 weekly listeners, marking a rare achievement for a classical music station. In San Francisco, KDFC-FM ranked as the number one music station and third overall, following news leaders KQED-FM and KCBS-FM. This success follows the merger of KUSC-FM and KDFC-FM into a unified programming format on October 27. The network's digital presence is also expanding, with increasing online listenership through its websites and apps.
