KUSC REPLACES ‘ALL THINGS’
KUSC-FM (91.5), the most widely listened-to public radio station in Los Angeles, has dropped “All Things Considered”--the last vestige of National Public Radio news programming on its schedule.
Station manager Wallace Smith said that replacing the afternoon program with classical music was both a programming and budgetary decision. The station has run into an end-of-the-fiscal-year shortfall in subscriptions and contributions that also required several staff layoffs, including KUSC chief operating officer Robert Goldfarb, he said.
KUSC is the only one of five NPR stations in the Los Angeles area that carries none of NPR’s news programming.
“All Things Considered” and its morning drive-time counterpart, “Morning Edition,” are still heard on KCRW-FM (89.9), KLON-FM (88.1), KCSN-FM (88.5) and KPCC-FM (89.3).
