I am KMUZ 88.5 FM, the 100% volunteer non-commercial community FM radio station that will exist at 88.5 MHz on your FM dial. The anticipated broadcast area is north through Salem, south to Albany, west to Monmouth, and east to Stayton. We will also simulcast over the internet. Our office and studio is located in the Historic Grand Theater Building in downtown Salem: 187 High Street NE, Suite 218, Salem, Oregon 97301.

The sponsoring non-profit organization for this radio station and FCC licensee is the Salem Folklore Community. Thanks for your help, SFC! Check out their website for more information on their activities and goals in promoting folk music and dance in Oregon at SalemFolklore.org. While SFC focuses on folk music, KMUZ will be all about DIVERSITY and COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP. We want to give a voice to those who are not given a voice in mainstream media - namely, locals (that's you!) with engaging ideas and/or news. And then there's the MUSIC... the kind that you won't hear on commercial radio. So don't toss that old record collection yet, as anything goes. The station will evolve as people from the Mid-Willamette Valley step up to offer their music and thoughts to the rest of us.

We are currently making plans to set up a complete training program for future DJs. Since we won't be on the air until 2011, we have time to get you all up to speed and feeling comfortable programming and producing a wide array of shows. However, implementation of the training program will not be possible until funding is secured. Fundraising efforts are underway to raise money not only for training, but for the tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment that we need to acquire before getting on the air. Donations are welcome and are tax-deductible. You can donate on our website via PayPal (look for the 'Donate' link) or send your check (made payable to SFC Radio Project) to our address above.

Thanks for visiting our website! Stay tuned, get involved, and BE RADIO ACTIVE!
