60 Years of KALX Radio

KALX 90.7 FM is proud to announce its 60th anniversary celebration!

It all started back in 1962 when KALX, originally Radio KAL, began broadcasts out of a simple cigar box heard only on the UC Berkeley campus. Fifty years later, KALX is a well-respected radio station heard over the air at 90.7FM in the SF Bay Area and on the web at kalx.berkeley.edu.

Renowned for its eclectic and adventurous programming, KALX was recently voted Best Radio Station by the East Bay Express in 2011, 2013 and 2018 . Few stations in the nation can boast that members of Green Day crashed on their couches, Frank Black strummed Beach Boys songs in their studios, or John Lennon chatted with their news crew about the riots in People’s Park. For a more in-depth look at KALX’s journey, check out the Full and Unabridged History.

Please help us celebrate 60 years by assisting us in planning for the future! Donations of any size are gratefully accepted at our crowdfund page!.Thank you!!
