Be a DJ
Who Are We?
I am KMUZ 88.5 FM, the volunteer non-commercial community FM radio station in the mid-Willamette Valley that will exist at 88.5 MHz on your FM dial. KMUZ is 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.The anticipated broadcast area is north into Salem, south to Albany, west to Monmouth, and east to Stayton. We will also simulcast over the internet.
The sponsoring non-profit organization for this radio station and FCC licensee is currently the Salem Folklore Community, but ownership is soon being transferred over to WINES (Willamette Information News & Entertainment Service), a new nonprofit that will focus on broadcasting local music, news & events in the mid-Valley.
We are currently making plans to set up a complete training program for future DJs. Since we won't be on the air until the second half of 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. Also watch for fundraising events that we will be holding as often as possible! Let us know if your organization would like to co-produce an event.
Thanks for visiting our website! Stay tuned, get involved, and BE RADIO ACTIVE!
