Access Sacramento's community radio producers for "The Voice of Sacramento" KUBU 96.5 FM can be heard on the Internet from Access Sacramento's main home page again. Click HERE to listen to KUBU. A shutdown at the end of January by the audio streaming company Access Sacrametno had used for more than a decade forced a reset of our Internet streaming link. Access Sacramento's KUBU station continued as a cablecast radio station on the Secondary-Audio-Program for Comcast and Consolidated Communications channel 17 & 18, and continued over-the-air at 96. FM from downtown Sacramento without disruption. |

Access Sacramento's has complied with the new laws that went into effect for 2016 by registering with the US Copyright board for radio stations doing internet streaming, and will begin filing music-playback census reports with the royalty tracking company called SoundExchange. Over-the-air broadcasters like KUBU-LP already pay more than $800 in licensing fees to ASCAP, BMI and SESAC for what's called a " blanket license" to broadcast CD's and records by the artists represented by those companies.
