Media
Radio, TV, papers offer variety
By Kevin Taylor

Even if you were here three or four years ago,
you may as well consider yourself a newcomer
when it comes to local media. Changes have been
frequent and plentiful, ranging from the addition
of a new television station to the ending of pub
lication of the Willamette Valley Observer
So, whether you're from Maine or Hawaii or
just around the corner, here is a local media
listing for all you "newcomers."
RADIO
Eugene-Springfield listeners can choose
from over 15 stations on their radio dial Both AM
and FM wavelengths offer everything from golden
oldies to rock'n’roll to religious music.
Starting at the bottom of the FM dial, KLCC is
at 89 7 and is broadcast from Lane Community
College KLCC plays a mixture of classical, jazz
and rock along with in-depth analysis of the news
and special broadcasts of interest to the college
community The station also includes many Na
tional Public Radio features
Next is KWAX, which is broadcast from Vil
lard Hall on the University campus. It rests at 91.9
on the FM dial and is mostly classical with some
opera As KWAX also plays host to many NPR
programs, it is in some ways quite similar to
KLCC
Just after KWAX comes KRVM 91.9 FM It's
the Eugene School District station with contem
porary, big band era jazz and student produced
features During the school year the four Eugene
high schools share the station. As it is a low power
station, it may be difficult to receive
After the three school-oriented stations
comes KSND, at 93 1 FM. "The Music FM" plays
Top 40 mixed with contemporary music.
Keep on dialing and you'll hit KBMC at 94.5
FM It s pure Christian radio with inspirational
music from 5 a m to midnight, seven days a week
Broadcasting from its station on Coburg
Road is KZEL, at 96 1 FM KZEL plays album
oriented rock and is programmed by the same
people who program KGON in Portland.
Near the end of the FM dial is KUGN-FM, at
97 9, The format is uncomplicated — country
music and news, 24 hours a day
Finally, KPNW-FM takes up the end of the dial
at 99 1 KPNW-FM plays "Beautiful Music"
(elevator music) in stereo
Switching to AM, KOAC-AM appears at 550
KOAC is broadcast from Covell Hall on the
Oregon State Campus in Corvallis
Next, the listener will encounter KUGN-AM at
590 KUGN-AM plays adult contemporary and,
along with KUGN-FM, is located in west Eugene
Keep dialing, and you'll find KORE at 1050

easy listening tunes, it broadcasts from Spring
field, 6 a m to sunset
Just like KUGN-AM, KPNW-AM at 1120 plays
adult contemporary music 24 hours a day KBDF
