MISSION
LOOKOUT FM is a West Coast terrestrial radio home for the broadcast of "transmission art:" experimental audio composition, modern serials, data sonification, radio plays, multi-day compositions, and radio-centric performances. Our fully licensed stations in Burbank and Pacific Palisades function as FM exhibition spaces where radio art is presented without regard to constraints of time, structure, or commercial consideration.
Radio is a public utility, and as such should be a platform for public art. We aim to foster an interest in artistic and abstract uses of the public airwaves among the diverse communities of Southern California and beyond. Our goal is to encourage artists to create and broadcast original works on the FM electromagnetic spectrum in Los Angeles by providing the necessary context and support for transmission-based projects.
PROJECTS
KGAP-LP is back on the air after an almost year-long hiatus at a new location in the Burbank Foothills. People of Burbank and all visitors, tune in at 96.7 FM.
The LOOKOUT FM artist residency commissions ambitious, large-scale, original artworks for radio broadcast. Our latest resident artist, Lucky Dragons, is working to develop a radiophonic chronometer that can be hosted in perpituity across our stations.
