Live 105

Live 105 is a San Francisco Bay Area alternative rock institution — one of the most celebrated and influential radio stations in the history of American alternative music. Broadcasting to the city that helped birth the counterculture, gave the world the Grateful Dead, and has remained at the forefront of musical creativity for decades, Live 105 has served the Bay Area's alternative music community since 1986 with programming that honors the full history of alternative rock while remaining open to wherever the music is going. From the station's pioneering alternative programming in the '80s through the grunge era, Britpop, indie rock, and the constantly evolving alternative landscape, Live 105 has maintained its commitment to music that matters — the bands that define alternative culture rather than following it.

The station's connection to the Bay Area scene gives its programming authentic local flavor, supporting local acts and celebrating the city's extraordinary musical heritage. Live 105's Not So Silent Night concert and other events make the station a genuine participant in Bay Area music culture rather than just an observer. The station serves the community of music lovers who have grown up in the Bay Area with Live 105 as their soundtrack.
