Broadcasting from the University of Central Oklahoma, KCSC 90.1 FM is the only locally programmed classical music station in the state of Oklahoma. Our airwaves extend across central Oklahoma and much of southeastern Oklahoma via our repeater station, KBCW 91.9 FM in McAlester.
The staff at KCSC/KBCW is dedicated to our mission to ensure that great musical works of the past and present are not lost to future generations. We welcome your phone calls and e-mails and hope you find information on this website that enhances your classical music experience and enriches your knowledge of arts events in the community.
We will continue our goal to provide the community with quality programming that offers variety and listener enjoyment. KCSC/KBCW is Oklahoma's choice for classical music.
A Note from the GM
Dear Members and Listeners,
Often you’ll hear us refer to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) during our fund drives and I’d like to talk about why the CPB is important to KCSC & what role it plays in our operations.
First of all, the CPB is a private, not-for-profit corporation that exists to promote the growth of public radio & television throughout the United States. Its aim is to support the production of some of the most entertaining, informative, educational & culturally-relevant programming available for Americans.
In Oklahoma, six public radio stations receive funding from the CPB. KCSC is required to bring in outside funding each year—a minimum of $200,000—from all sources other than federal and meet the minimum standards of either a Listening Index or a Community Financial Support Index. Each of these indices is based on the population of our coverage area where the CPB measures KCSC’s service to the local community using the criteria of numbers of listeners or dollars of support.
Last year, KCSC received $91,535 from the CPB (or 12.6% of our operating budget). This grant is divided into two parts: one third of the grant must be used for national programming; the other two thirds are available for general station support.
Our CPB funding is used to pay for affiliations with American Public Media, Public Radio International, Window to the World Communications (WFMT), WXXI (“With Heart & Voice”), Broadcast Data Consultants, Herlick Data Systems and National Public Radio (“From the Top”), as well as maintenance of our two tower complexes. The CPB also pays the royalties KCSC owes to musicians and music producers.
If you have any questions about KCSC’s funding or day-to-day operations, you may contact me.
Yours in
Music,
