Eclectic 24 is a digital music channel owned and hosted by KCRW radio station (a Los Angeles-based radio station). The idea behind the creation of this channel was simple – they collected the best music from their DJs and started streaming it 24 hours a day 7 days per week with no interruptions. This channel was launched in 2009 (on Labor Day) and quickly gained high popularity for its exceptional music selection. In 2014 KCRW started broadcasting Eclectic 24 on FM frequencies in Santa Barbara, California. This is done for test purposes and if this test is successful KCRW plans to start broadcasting Eclectic24 in other U.S. regions, too.
