KGNU's broadcasts cover everything from Ambient to Zydeco, and are shaped exclusively by the imaginations of the DJs in our community. We are one of the few truely freeform stations in the country, allowing for some of the most eclectic and adventurous programming available anywhere. Whether your looking for Afrobeat, Dub, Hip Hop, Bluegrass, IDM, Klezmer, or something in between, it's likely to be played on one of KGNU's diverse music programs.
KGNU's daily music programming is a clear demonstration of our mission in action. Our DJs are constantly working to produce a consistently stimulating, educational, and entertaining broadcast for our listeners. KGNU is committed to providing access to music and artists that have been overlooked, suppressed or underrepresented by other media.
