KPFA's Reggae Express Returns With New March 2026 Episode

Berkeley's KPFA brought back The Reggae Express on March 10, 2026, delivering what the program described as a "go with the flow reggae music mix" starting at 8:00pm. The episode, produced and curated by KPFA's own Reggae Express program, blended roots, lovers rock, and classic vocalists into a single curated set for the station's community listeners.

KPFA, based at 1929 Martin Luther King Jr Way in Berkeley and part of the Pacifica network, has long served as one of the Bay Area's most eclectic community radio outlets. The March 10 broadcast slotted The Reggae Express into a dense evening of programming that spanned genres and communities across the dial.

Two hours after The Reggae Express signed off, City Cat Radio took over at 10:00pm. That show belongs to Oakland's DJ HENROC, a DJ, producer, and engineer whose program is built around what he calls "plain old good music," pulling together Soul, Roots, Reggae, Dancehall, Soca, Afro Beat, Funk, House, and Underground Hip Hop into a weekly mix. DJ HENROC has been active at some of the world's premier venues for nearly 25 years, and City Cat Radio reflects that breadth of taste and experience.

Earlier in the day on March 10, Cover to Cover aired with host Jovelyn Richards, celebrating poetry and prose, while La Raza Chronicles also had a March 10 slot. The surrounding schedule extended into March 11 and included Bebop, Cubop and The Musical Truth, a jazz and Latin crossover show hosted by Avotcja, along with Rhythm Machine, Bay Native Circle, The Pacifica Evening News, Flashpoints, Education Today, and East Bay Yesterday.

The station's programming activity coincided with governance business: the KPFA Local Station Board held a public meeting on Wednesday, March 11 at 6:30 PM PT via Zoom, with the agenda posted on kpftx.org. That meeting notice had been posted as of February 9, 2026.

KPFA's signal reaches beyond its primary Berkeley transmitter through KPFB 89.3 FM in Berkeley and KFCF 88.1 FM in Fresno. Listeners can also reach the station at 510.848.6767.
