Classical California has reduced its workforce, President James Muhammad wrote in a message to supporters.
“Like many of our counterparts across the nation, Classical California has had to take the difficult but necessary step to reduce our workforce in order to ensure our ability to continue providing access to world-class classical music,” he wrote in a message posted Thursday on the organization’s website.
A spokesperson did not respond to questions about which positions were impacted.
The organization, which operates KUSC-FM in Los Angeles and KDFC-FM in San Francisco, is losing $1.1 million in annual revenue with the rescission of CPB funds. The organization reported nearly $20 million in revenue in FY24, according to its most recent audited financial statement.
The CPB cut, “along with other impacts, requires us to make difficult decisions across KUSC-FM and KDFC-FM,” Muhammad wrote. “We are so grateful for the incredible talent behind the microphones that have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today.”
