Jazz Radio in SLO County


Jazz Radio Stations
 
Sadly, there are no full-time jazz radio stations in SLO County.
By far, the greatest supporter of jazz is KCBX Public Radio, whose mission statement includes the words: "strive to serve the listening public with interests in classical music, jazz, alternative musical arts... encourage an interest in and appreciation of fine arts."
KCBX CENTRAL COAST PUBLIC RADIO

KCBX can be heard on:

FM 90.1 San Luis Obispo/Santa Maria
FM 91.1 Cayucos
FM 90.9 Santa Ynez Valley/Avila Beach/Cambria
FM 89.5 Santa Barbara
