History

Central Coast Media Education Foundation founded KPCR-LP in 2019. The station's inception aimed to carry the mission of Pirate Cat Radio and provide a platform for local artists, musicians, and community members to share their talents and voices. Originally based in Santa Cruz, KPCR-LP moved to Los Gatos in December 2023.

The station actively promotes local talent and often hosts live performances and interviews with musicians, artists, and community leaders. This commitment to highlighting local voices has made KPCR an integral part of the cultural fabric of the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas.^[1]

Mission and Advocacy

KPCR-LP is not just a radio station; it's a platform for advocacy and social change. The station's mission is to provide an alternative voice in the media landscape, challenging mainstream narratives and amplifying marginalized voices.

His passion for grassroots media and community engagement laid the foundation for KPCR's mission to provide an alternative voice in the media landscape.
