MUSIC FROM THE EXPERTS

Music on KSER is produced by over 100 professionally trained volunteer DJs who function as our announcers and programmers. 

Each of our hosts is an expert in one or more musical genres. They are passionate music collectors, historians and artists, who spend hours each week preparing their shows. And every show on KSER is driven by one mandate: create radio that is exciting and authentic.

KSER programmers are not forced to follow anyone’s pre-selected playlist. The result is freedom—freedom from the musical mainstream, freedom from endless repetition, freedom from the conformity that has become the rule elsewhere on the dial.

In the list below, you'll see shows from practically every music genre. From Blues to Bluegrass, R&B to Electronica, Reggae to Hip Hop, Rockabilly to Rock 'n Roll, Hawaiian to Native American music, KSER has something for everyone.
