Rik Malone

Rik supervises the music programming that reaches over 800,000 people each week, including people who never thought they would ever like classical music. He joined KDFC in 1997 as a host and a music programmer. He expanded his programming duties to KUSC in 2011. He has hosted the radio broadcasts of the San Francisco Symphony for over 2 decades. He is a trained violist and is completely comfortable with so-called viola jokes. The one thing he wishes everyone knew about classical music is that it really is wicked cool. Yes, he’s a Boston Red Sox fan.
