The NPR audience and the local news and information programs Capital Public Radio provides have seen significant growth in listenership in the past several years.  There are a number of news and information programs that we'd like to offer, but have been unable to due to limited airtime.  Also, many listeners, because of their work schedules, can't hear shows during the day and would like us to repeat some shows in the evenings.  If you're a news fan, you may have been frustrated at times when you tune to one of our news stations and hear music instead. 

Effective January 17, 2012 we will be moving "Excellence In Jazz" and several other of our music programs from KXJZ 90.9/KUOP 91.3/KKTO 90.5/KQNC 88.1 over to our music station at 88.9 KXPR/ 91.7 KXSR, and 88.7 KXJS.  This decision was made with very careful consideration.  We feel that these changes best respond to our news and information listeners' requests, while at the same time honor our music listeners by continuing to provide the best jazz and classical service in our communities.

Jazz isn't going away, it's just moving on the dial.  These moves will mean a change of programming on our Classical Music station in the evenings and on the weekends.  In addition, Classical listeners will soon be able to access the classical music they love any time of day through our new 24-hour per day classical online service, "ClassicalStream." This, along with our full-time online jazz service, "JazzStream," can be found on our website. Streaming any of our stations is also available through our new "CapRadio App" for your smart phone or tablet (available in your App Store or Marketplace)at the App Store.  These new technologies have provided us with the opportunity to expand our music services through utilization of delivery platforms that were not available even just a few years ago.   

The new schedules for both stations can be found here. Feel free to call us at (916) 278-8900 or you may contact Carl Watanabe, Station Manager at watanabe@csus.edu or (916) 278-8905 with any questions or concerns and we will be happy to speak with you personally.

As always, these investments in new programs and technologies are made possible only with your help.  Thank you for your continued support of Capital Public Radio!
