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 24-hour classical FM radio station in the L.A. area (following KMZT's move to AM radio in 2007). Most programming is produced by the Classical Public Radio Network (CPRN), an LLC partnership with Colorado Public Radio. The CPRN announcer team includes Charles Andrews, Alan Chapman, Kimberlea Daggy, Monika Vischer, David Rutherford, Pat Alexander, (Gene Parrish formerly a big band host), Stephanie Wendt and Steve Blatt. Highlight shows from CPRN include The Daily Special, Modern Masterpieces, Sacred Classics, Buried Treasures. Notable local programming includes Jim Svejda's weekday evening show, Rich Capparela's weekday afternoon program, Duff Murphy's Saturday opera show, and special features by Gail Eichenthal.
