Listen
KCSC was one of the first radio stations streaming on the internet in Northern California back in 1999. We’ve greatly upgraded our stream quality and reliability since then and now offer 4 different streams: 3 MP3 and 1 experimental stream in AAC+ quality.
On iTunes
KCSC is listed in the iTunes Radio Tuner under College / University – that’s the easiest way to access us if you use iTunes!
Mobile Listening
Several smartphone applications already have KCSC listed in their directory – just install the application and search for “KCSC”. You can tune in over WiFi, 3G or EDGE. Note: the 24Kbps stream is recommended for listening over EDGE.
Mobile Applications
- SHOUTcast Radio – Free for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
- Wunder Radio – available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile!
- Tuner Internet Radio – for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad only, available in iTunes App Store.

AACplus Stream – WinAMP only
AACplus sounds as good as our highest bitrate stream, but uses very little bandwidth. This stream works best under Winamp.
Help with Streaming
KCSC uses Shoutcast’s MP3 streaming technology to push our broadcast to the world. If you’re on a DSL or Cable internet connection, the 128kbps stream should work. Public wireless users might prefer the 64kbps connection and those on dial-up connections will need to use the 24kbps connection.
To take advantage of the CD-quality 32kbps aacPlus stream, you need the latest version of Winamp. Available free from winamp.com.
