The July 25 Willamette Week included their 'Best Of' Portland article. Clear that the idea is cliche and "a tired staple of the newspaper industry", they instead chose to "write about the people, places, stories and curiosities that make Portland the snowflake it is."  Read the story.

Help KBOO grow and evolve to better meet our community's needs!
We are in the midst of analyzing our programming at KBOO, and we need your input!  Help us by taking listener and member surveys.  Change can be challenging, but without change we become stagnant.  With your input, we can make sure that our changes will be guided by our community.

In the past few weeks, the local radio community has been rocked by the loss of KBPS Summer Sound- although it has been announced that the plan is to put KBPS back on the air by September.  We've also had the recent loss of music on OPB FM. Most media outlets seem genuinely uninterested in hearing from their 'customers' when changes are under consideration.  But not at KBOO.

We feel fortunate that we have a community whose participation we can actively solicit in our decision making process. Please keep an eye out on the KBOO website for future surveys, and feel free to contact us at any time with programming feedback, positive and negative. We look forward to hearing from you.       -Erin Yanke, Interim Program Director

Did you know that around 500 volunteers participate in KBOO?

They are a very diverse, dynamic, and engaged community. You hear lots of them on the air, but there's any even greater number who only work behind the scenes. Volunteers write and report news stories, act as receptionists, fix equipment, staff outreach tables, perform clerical work, engineer live music, run errands, post and produce audio programs to and from the internet and so much more. If you think you'd like to be a KBOO volunteer, come to our next volunteer orientation, Tuesday, August 28th, 6 - 8 pm (map), or contact Ani Haines for further assistance.
