KCRH broadcasts a wide variety of music geared towards the college audience and broadcasts Chabot College's sports games. The station recently relocated from an older room in the former humanities building (Building 900), where the station had been headquartered since it started in 1981, to a new location in the college's main office building (Building 100) in the center of campus as of the fall semester 2007. The call letters were previously used by a defunct radio station in Nampa, Idaho.
