88.5 FM The SoCal Sound

88.5 FM The SoCal Sound is a member-supported, public radio station broadcasting live from the campuses of California State University, Northridge and Saddleback College. The SoCal Sound relies heavily on financial support from individual donors, underwriting sponsors, and membership.
