We'd like to say a hearty THANK YOU to all that supported KALX financially during our recent fundraiser! We can't do what we do without your support at kalx.berkeley.edu/donate!

You weren't just generous with your money, your kind words also sustain and motivate us. We feel your love! Here's a sample of what people had to say about why they give to KALX:

Sparkle Motion and Sex14's! Unbeatable team. Bravo Bravo.

Did you know that KALX receives only a portion of its annual operating budget from the University of California, Berkeley? The rest of the budget, and that includes any hoped-for equipment upgrades, comes from you, our listeners. Projects we are working on right now that depend on listener support include the design of a new KALX website, replacing our obsolete and malfunctioning News Studio mixing board, and purchasing a new back-up transmitter to replace our old, tube-based transmitter from the 1970s. And that’s on top of our regular operating expenses.

Ever hear a show on KALX that you wish you could hear again? Or perhaps you want to shift your listening to a favorite DJ to another time? Now you can! Thanks to the KALX Archive player, aka the Ark player, you can now hear any program on KALX for up to two weeks after it airs!

For a limited time only, the KALX Live! 2022 RetroSpectacular & New Year’s Eve Countdown is available to stream. For over a decade now, tradition has (almost always) dictated that the last KALX Live! show of the year is the RetroSpectacular - that special night when the crew takes a heartfelt look back at the impressive assemblage of diverse artists who guested on the program during the entire year.
