Thanks to those of you who have contacted us about difficulty hearing 90.3 KAZU.
Since our recent antenna replacement, we're working to understand the issues leading to areas of spotty reception as well as interference from another station. All of this is complicated by inland heat, which creates an inversion layer, adding to problematic reception.
If you can, use the free KAZU mobile app or listen to the station's streams at kazu.org.
Please know we're working hard to remedy this situation and improve your listening experience.
