KXJZ (90.9 FM) is a public radio station in Sacramento, CA. It airs programming from National Public Radio (NPR) and other public radio producers and distributors, as well as locally produced news and public affairs programs, jazz and blues. It also offers a continuous 24 hour non-commercial Classical music format on its HD2 subcarrier[1].

KXJZ's signal covers the entire Sacramento metropolitan area including the cities of Davis, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Yuba City and Marysville. It also reaches Fairfield, and Vacaville on the fringes of the San Francisco Bay Area. KXJZ's signal also reaches the northern San Joaquin Valley including the cities of Stockton and Modesto through repeater station KUOP (91.3 FM), Quincy through KQNC (88.1 FM), Sutter through KXJS (88.7 FM), and the Lake Tahoe and Reno areas through repeater station KKTO (90.5 FM). These stations are collectively known as "The KXJZ Stations."

KXJZ's sister station in Sacramento is KXPR (88.9 FM), which broadcasts classical music and a few non-classical programs at the weekend. These stations are both part of Capital Public Radio.

On September 6, 2006, KXJZ and KXPR swapped frequencies in an effort to better serve the listening population.
