KCRW 88.9 FM - Live ranks 82 among 1,481 stations in the United States. High enough that the country hub carries it in its own tables, and far enough from the head that the neighbours below are a genuinely different set of stations from the famous ones.
KCRW 88.9 FM - Live has 20 recorded opens in the public directory, which is a real number by the standards of this data set. Most entries never reach double figures, so a count at this level means the stream has been found and played repeatedly by people using directory clients rather than the broadcaster's own site.
The culture corner of the United States' dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.
Worldwide it ranks 17 among 86 culture entries, which is worth roughly as much as the count behind it and no more.
The stream is served from streams.kcrw.com, an address four other entries in the United States use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.

KCRW 88.9 FM - Live is one of 3,967 playable stations the catalogue lists in United States, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by KCRW 88.9 FM - Live. Stream served directly by the broadcaster. Their own site is at www.kcrw.com.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
