G F Community radio gets signal boost KMUZ Community Radio (100.7 FM) recent- ly boosted the power of its radio signal, increasing the potential mid-Willamette Valley listening audience from 50,000 people to over 300,000. On Sept. 15, KMUZ increased its power from 34 watts to 220 watts. The upgrade represents a mile- stone for the Salem-based nonprofi t radio station that broadcasts on 88.5 FM and 100.7 FM and streams online at KMUZ.org. Funding for the project was made possible by a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. Keizertimes Managing Ed- itor Eric Howald hosts a one- hour live interview segment during KMUZ’s Willamette Wake-Up programming. The show, News from the North, airs the second Friday of ev- ery month beginning about 8:10 a.m., and focuses on the news and people of Keizer. Nearly eight years ago, KMUZ started broadcasting its mix of music, news and community affairs program- ming. But the low power level initially authorized by the FCC limited the station’s range. In some nearby areas, its radio signal couldn’t pen- etrate buildings. Listeners in Salem, Keizer and Albany and smaller com- munities on the east side of the mid-Willamette Valley will notice the biggest im- provements in the station’s reception. Volunteers operate the local, non-commercial FM station. KMUZ is licensed to Willamette Information, News and Entertainment Service (WINES), an Ore- gon Public Benefi t Corpo- ration. KMUZ also streams online and podcast on KMUZ.org. The station’s studio is lo- cated at 245 Division St. NE in Salem.
