HEARTS of SPACE grew out of former architect Stephen Hill's fascination with space-creating, ambient and contemplative music.
The program has created its own niche—a combination of ambient, electronic, classical, jazz, world, new age and experimental genres.
Beginning in the early 1970s, Hill hosted a weekly late night radio program on KPFA-FM in the San Francisco Bay area.
In January 1983, after ten years evolution as a local program, Hearts of Space began national syndication to 35 non-commercial public radio stations via the NPR satellite system.
Now in its 26th year of national syndication, a one hour program airs weekly on over 200 NPR affiliate stations. The program is also heard nationally seven times a week at 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific on XM Satellite Radio's 'Spa' Channel 72.
Internet streaming began in 1999 on pioneer webcasters NetRadio and WiredPlanet as well as public radio station sites, and evolved in 2001 into a full blown subscription service offering on-demand access to the entire Archive of over 860 programs since 1983.
