Do you support the continued funding of $3.40, (of the $3.40 collected, $2.85 goes to the program and $0.55 is for Return to Aid) per undergraduate student per quarter and $3.00 (of the $3.00 collected, $2.45 goes to the program and $0.55 is for Return to Aid) for summer quarter for the Campus Radio 91.9 KCSB-FM/KJUC-AM?
Pro Statements
KCSB-FM is a student-led, independent, non-commercial media outlet serving the campus and the larger 805 community. We are the first UC radio station, started in the early 1960s by eager students in Anacapa Hall. With diverse programming made in-house by our student and community DJs, KCSB has stood the test of time as a crucial platform for truth and creative expression.
Independent media plays a vital role in strengthening democracy. In a time of widespread misinformation and attacks on free speech, KCSB remains a trusted and reliable source for independent journalism. Students gain hands-on experience in broadcasting, reporting, editing, and audio production — skills not found elsewhere on campus. These opportunities train the next generation of reporters and media professionals, with many KCSB alumni going on to careers in media.
Beyond the airwaves, KCSB puts on many free events for the campus throughout the year. These include concerts, merch pop-ups, speaker events, and film screenings. From amplifying emerging artists to creating space for campus dialogue, KCSB events foster creativity, expression, and the search for truth.
Radio is crucial in moments of crisis. KCSB provides timely updates during floods, wildfires, and other publicly safety concerns. Reaffirming KCSB ensures the student body will continue to have access to this invaluable campus resource — one rooted in public service and student activism.
Invest in free expression, local storytelling, and the right to be informed. Keep media in the hands of the students.
Vote YES to keep student voices on the airwaves.
