The Independent 88.5 FM

The Independent 88.5 FM is a member-supported, public radio station broadcasting live from the campuses of California State University, Northridge and Saddleback College. 88.5 FM relies heavily on financial support from individual donors, underwriting sponsors, and membership. That means we rely on you, the public, to keep the unique format and community service for CSUN, Saddleback College and Southern California on the air.
