In 1979 the Sequoia Union High School District, which owns the broadcast license for KCEA 89.1 FM, established it as a high school radio station. The station features big band music from the 30's and 40's 24 hours a day. Also the frequency serves as a disaster information station for the surrounding area.
KCEA has a library of over a thousand albums and compact discs of the big band era, which is always expanding. KCEA produces and airs free Public Service Anouncements (PSA's) for local events such as concerts, dances, community activities, and information on consumer and health awareness.
