Radio Stations

Christian radio in the Mid-Willamette Valley consists of three primary frequencies: 107.1FM (K-LOVE), 107.9FM (KHPE), and 790AM (KWIL). KLOVE is mostly Christian Contemporary, while KHPE is Christian Contemporary plus some teaching early mornings/evenings and on weekends. KWIL is mostly teaching but with some "Classic Christian" (the kind we used to listen to back in the 70s/80s) and Southern Gospel on Saturday nights. YeeHaw! Another station that is weaker (transmitter is in Springfield) is Family Radio, 88.9FM which has alot of the older hymns (yes!) and some teaching programs. Founder Harold Camping's theology is a bit wacky, but the music is peaceful. Ahhh...

Those living farther north may also be able to pick up 104.1, "The Fish".

For Christian talk radio there's KPDQ 93.9FM, but it's up in Portland, so hard for us to receive most of the time.

For soothing, non-commercial classical, 91.1 KWAX is wonderful 24 hours a day.

For news, it's tough to beat NPR (National Public Radio), locally broadcast on KOAC, 550AM to the Mid-Valley. Don't forget to remind yourself that on social issues their perspective will be to the left of center about 99% of the time. That said, they do put out lots of news and coverage on practically everything that is going on in the world. Their "Morning Edition" weekday mornings and their "All Things Considered" weekday afternoons really do cover much of what's going on in the world. As far as the economy "Marketplace" at 4pm weekdays gives that picture.

Of course, if you want Beaver sports, go to 1240AM, KEJO.

Duck Fans: tune to 1580AM, KGAL.
