KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

If you haven't sampled our early, early morning musical fare, here's your chance to do it without losing a wink of sleep. Our midnight DJ's will be on the mic taking over Morning Becomes Eclectic from host Nic Harcourt on Thursday and Friday, November 22 and 23, from 9am to noon. Each of the hosts will be doing one-hour versions of their own show to introduce the morning audience to the sounds they can hear regularly from midnight to 3am.
