Programming
UCLAradio.com features highly eclectic programming, offering programmers the opportunity to do practically anything with their allotted blocks of air-time. Many shows focus on indie rock music, but station programming usually represents countless other genres as well. Some shows offer talk content ranging from sports to current events to comedy. On Tuesday evenings, the station features a two-hour News program focused on campus events, politics, entertainment, as well as national and global headlines.
The station's live signal streams on the Internet in both Windows Media Player and QuickTime formats, as well as through iTunes. The new website, launched in April 2012, also features an in-browser player.
On January 8, 2007, the station launched a daily podcast which has since been discontinued. The podcast consisted of on-air programming highlights and podcast-only programming covering sports, news and music. Beginning in April 2012, UCLA Radio began broadcasting in UCLA's Kerckhoff Coffee House on weekdays from 12pm to 2pm.
Finally, many members of UCLAradio.com's staff regularly contribute to the station's popular blog, which covers a mélange of pop culture, politics and miscellania.
Since it is not a terrestrial station, UCLAradio.com is not beholden to the FCC's programming guidelines. However, the station does enforce ASUCLA Student Media's decency standards, which concentrate mainly on avoiding discriminatory content.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
