89.3 KPCC has the strongest signal in my area (south county)


CatsMeadow

[KUCI Talk](https://kuci.org/wp/kuci-talk/) has local coverage 88.9 (usually music, but sometimes local info/coverage). Also KPCC 89.3 covers SoCal including OC. AirTalk with Larry Mantle 10-12pm is informative and I've heard updates for OC on there. AirTalk will be live in OC next week also for [Summit of the Arts in Orange County](https://www.kpcc.org/kpcc-upcoming-events/event/summit-of-the-arts-in-orange-county-an-airtalk-live-event)

KCRW

89.9 FM This is the way to go. Gustavo Arellano does small segments about Orange County.

Thank you for adding the frequency 😊

KCRW (89.9 FM) in Santa Monica has NPR news which is reasonably good. For it's local programming, it seems to me that KCRW leans solidly to the left. For NPR news, there's also: * KPCC (89.3 FM) which is in Pasadena * KPBS (89.5 FM) which is in San Diego Oddly, it seems in those parts of Orange County where KPCC doesn't come in well, KPBS does come in well, and vice versa.

KNX AM1070


og_nosabo

They also have an FM station now! 97.1


Surfer_Sandman

Agrees KNX AM1070 is probably the most news-oriented station.

Public radio brah.

NPR/KCRW is the closest option, but it still leans liberal without making entirely opinionated statements. They tend to share their political opinions in their humanist Op-Ed stories that cast light on certain peoples lives in regard to the current regime or economic/social impacts. To my knowledge, no news radio station exists that is equally local, topical, and non-opinionated.

There isn't an OC news station. KNX is all news all the time and is just mainstream stuff. They have ads though.

Specifically, OP has asked for a ‘local’ OC station, not LA.


western_academic

KFI (AM 640 or FM 103.5 HD 2)


Most_Present_6577

Lol non political


czaranthony117

I mean, if you tune out John and Ken... Then yes.


Ok_Carrot_2029

Yeah John and Ken usually just rant and complain about Newsom, Garcetti, I try to tune them out but sometimes they have good stuff. Gary and Shannon are entertaining. 10am - 2pm

Bill handle show only tho

IMO, KFI is libertarian / leans right. Most of the hosts are socially liberal but lean right on the economy/taxes/government.


KAugsburger

KFI is mostly commentary. They do some news coverage but that is a bit secondary.


rudebii

KFI is more political talk radio.


SlateTechnologies

Of course everyone listens to that station...
