KAZU 90.3 FM is the NPR member station for California's Monterey Bay area, branded NPR for Monterey, Salinas and Santa Cruz. The station is licensed to The University Corporation at Monterey Bay, an auxiliary organization of California State University, Monterey Bay, and its studios and offices are on the CSUMB campus in Seaside. KAZU signed on in August 1977 as a volunteer run community station in Pacific Grove and came under CSU Monterey Bay around 2000, when it became a full time NPR news and information station.

KAZU broadcasts from a transmitter above Monterey, with translators on 89.5 FM in Santa Cruz and 91.3 FM in Palo Colorado Canyon, and carries classical music on its HD2 channel. Alongside NPR's national programs it produces local news for the Monterey Bay region, the Monterey Bay Today newsletter and a community calendar, and it streams online and through the NPR app.

The station has a staff of about ten in news, hosting, membership and underwriting, and operations. Hiring runs through the University Corporation at Monterey Bay's human resources office, with postings on the Corporation's NEOGOV job portal, and the station's own jobs page says when it is hiring. Kellsy Panno is station director.
