In The Community

Local Media San Diego in the Community

Local Media San Diego is the only locally owned and operated broadcast company in San Diego. Our dedication to San Diego has always been a priority, and we are proud to carry a local-first attitude toward our programming, decisions and outreach.

We participate in company partnerships for a number of community events, by donating station resources such as airtime and personnel, as well as regular volunteerism by LMSD staff at non-profit organizations in need.
