KUSC (91.5 MHz FM) is a listener-supported classical music radio station broadcasting from downtown Los Angeles, California, USA. KUSC is owned and operated by the University of Southern California, which also operates student-run KSCR. It is the largest non-profit classical music station in the country and the only classical radio station in the Greater Los Angeles Area (following K-Mozart's move to talk radio on October 29, 2007).

Some of the programming is produced by the Classical Public Radio Network (CPRN), an LLC partnership with Colorado Public Radio. The CPRN announcer team includes Charles Andrews, Alan Chapman, Kimberlea Daggy, Monika Vischer, David Rutherford, Pat Alexander, Gene Parrish (formerly a big band host), Stephanie Wendt and Steve Blatt. Highlight shows from CPRN include The Daily Special, Modern Masterpieces, Sacred Classics, Buried Treasures. Notable local programming includes Jim Svejda's weekday evening show, Dennis Bartel's weekday morning show, Rich Capparela's weekday afternoon program, Duff Murphy's Saturday opera show, and special features by Gail Eichenthal.

The station holds semi-annual membership drives to help support operational costs. These drives usually last less than 10 days. Corporate sponsors include Lexus, Miramax Films, University of Redlands, Universal Music Group, City of Hope National Medical Center and Providence Health & Services.

† KDSC is non-directional (fcc.gov). Coverage pattern is not circular due to mountains to the NE which block line-of-sight, FM transmission. Any interference with the 91.1 in Mexico goes both ways and is caused by a phenomenon called 'ducting.' Ducting occurs most often along coastal areas, particularly during Spring and Fall when temperature inversions occur. Ducting causes VHF signals to travel further than normal. All VHF signals, FM is in the VHF band just above TV channel 6, experience periodic interference from this phenomenon.
