KSBR is a non-commercial radio station in Mission Viejo, California, broadcasting to the Orange County, California area on 88.5 FM. KSBR airs a jazz music format branded as "Jazz-FM" along with news programming.
[edit] History
KSBR signed on in 1975 with a limited coverage area of only a few miles from the campus of Saddleback Community College. In 1979, the signal was upgraded to cover most of Orange County, California.
(There is incidentally one other 'KSBR' in the world - a marketing consultancy based in Hertford, just north of London in the UK.)
The call letters were previously used by an FM station in San Bruno, California, which operated at 100.5 megaHertz, during the 1940s and 1950s.[1] The station was owned and operated by Eitel-McCullough, which moved to San Carlos, California in 1959 and merged with Varian Associates in 1965.
