KCRW is a public radio station and nonprofit media organization based in Santa Monica, California. It broadcasts at 89.9 FM and is licensed to Santa Monica College, which has operated the station since it first went on the air in 1947 as a training program in FM broadcasting. KCRW became a charter member of NPR in 1970 and is NPR's flagship member station for Southern California; it also carries programming from PRI, American Public Media and the BBC.

The station's terrestrial signal, extended by a network of repeater stations, serves Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties, parts of San Diego, San Bernardino, Kern and Santa Barbara counties and the greater Palm Springs area. Online, KCRW runs three continuous streams (the main broadcast, the Eclectic 24 music channel and News 24), a slate of original podcasts and archives of locally produced programs and live band performances, reaching an audience well beyond the broadcast area.

KCRW produces original news, talk, arts and music programming alongside national and international content. Its flagship music program, Morning Becomes Eclectic, has aired for more than three decades and is known for live in-studio sessions. Other KCRW programs include Good Food, The Business and locally produced news coverage of Los Angeles. The station also hosts live music events and community gatherings and is supported by the KCRW Foundation, the nonprofit behind the station.
