CHOC Radio made its West Coast debut Friday, September 22, 2006.

With help from 102.7 KIIS FM and Ryan Seacrest - top-rated broadcast personality from KIIS FM, "American Top 40," "American Idol," "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," and E! Networks, the West Coast's first Radio Lollipop was unveiled before a crowd of patients, fans and special guests.

CHOC Radio is a fully equipped radio studio housed in the hospital's main lobby and run by a team of volunteers who involve patients in recreational activities linked to radio programs that are child-focused. Volunteer deejays play "Top 40" hits and children's favorites, take call-in requests, and put patients "on air" from the bedside or in the studio.
