L.A. classical station KUSC lays off employees after federal funding cuts
Los Angeles Times
|August 30, 2025
Los Angeles classical music station KUSC-FM (91.5) has laid off employees after Republicans cut federal funding from the Corp. for Public Broadcasting.
James A. Muhammad, president of Classical California, the entity that operates the nonprofit KUSC and its sister station, KDFC in San Francisco, confirmed the workforce reduction in a note sent Thursday to its listeners.
"Despite our best efforts, the fact is that Classical California has experienced a reduction of $1.1 million in support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting," Muhammad wrote. "This, along with other impacts, requires us to make difficult decisions across KUSC-FM and KDFC-FM."
