"The Beat of Diablo" is a weekly local music program on FM radio, playing music of all genres.  The show is produced and hosted by Dave Hughes, and airs Sunday and Thursday nights at 7PM on 90.5 FM and KVHS.com.  A monthly local music column of the same name appears in the Pioneer.

"Nightcap" is an extension of "The Beat of Diablo," that occasionally follows the show.  It features a local instrumental album with an ethereal feel, played in its entirety without interruption.  Recent features include the music of Ken Chow, Doug Michael, and Auditory Portraits.
