Emission from the direction of the planet Saturn was observed by the IMP-6 spacecraft at 15 frequencies between 375 and 2200 kHz during the period April 1971 to October 1972. The Saturnian radio bursts were identified in the IMP-6 data through an analysis of the phase of the observed modulated signal detected from the spinning dipole antenna. Initial data reduction has isolated approximately 12 storms whose occurrence corresponded to times in which the spacecraft had an unobstructed view in the direction of Saturn. These events persisted over periods between one and ten minutes. Over the span of 500 days of data another 10 to 20 Saturnian events may exist, but positive identification is confused by the presence of terrestrial noise as well as a geometric ambiguity with Jupiter. A power spectral analysis of the storm occurrence times indicates a weak periodicity at 10h 30m + or - 5m at some of the observing frequencies. The spectral character of the radiation was found analogous to that of Jupiter.
