Be a DJ
Who Are We?
We are KMUZ 88.5 FM, the non-commercial educational community FM radio station in the mid-Willamette Valley in Oregon. KMUZ is committed to providing a media outlet for those who are not given a voice in mainstream media—namely, locals (that's you!) who are itching to create engaging public affairs or cultural arts programming. We also welcome DJs who would like to share their music. Virtually any genre goes, where the only limitation is that it can’t be heard on commercial radio. KMUZ is a brand-new station (first broadcast on Dec. 17, 2011) and so we are still evolving as people from the Mid-Willamette Valley join us to create exciting new programming. Have an idea but no experience? We provide free training and encourage our volunteers to be creative so that KMUZ can provide our community a wide array of interesting and unique shows. Check out the “Be a DJ” link.
Our city of license is Turner, OR and the general broadcast area reaches north into Salem, south to Albany, west to Monmouth, and east to Stayton. We also stream over the internet. The sponsoring non-profit organization for this radio station and FCC licensee is WINES (Willamette Information News & Entertainment Service), a new nonprofit that focuses on broadcasting local music, news & events in the mid-Valley. Since we have 501(c)(3) status, donations are tax-deductible. Please consider becoming a sustaining member (click the “Subscribe” PayPal link on the right), but a one-time donation also helps (via the “Donate” PayPal link). Check donations made out to KMUZ-FM can be mailed to us at P.O. Box 12038, Salem, OR 97309. If you are business, consider becoming an underwriter! Please contact outreach@kmuz.org for more information.
Thank you for visiting our website! Please peruse further for information on volunteering, programming, underwriting, and events. And when you’re offline, don’t forget to stay tuned, get involved, and BE RADIO ACTIVE!
