KUTZ FM is a new low-power FM radio project currently broadcasting at 103.1 from Midtown, Sacramento.
As the station grows, KUTZ aims to build diverse music and public interest programming, focusing on and giving priority to content which is currently unavailable through other local media outlets. KUTZ is also dedicated to the ‘freeform’ programming format, where the disc jockey (DJ) is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. It’s a format that emphasizes the uniqueness of individual DJs.
KUTZ-FM volunteer staff is a group of freeform and community radio enthusiasts. Many of our core staff have long term involvement in the local music scene and experience in both low and high power radio station operation, maintenance, and programming. Our network reaches from Davis’ own KDVS and KDRT to KXRY and KPFF in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.
KUTZ-FM is part of a grassroots movement to develop local, community based media outlets, independent from the readily available corporate and for-profit outlets that dominate our current airwaves. KUTZ-FM values the return to a more personable, real-life, experience for listeners, in an effort to give a voice to Sacramento and its burgeoning arts and culture scene.
