KRVM MISSION: "To provide quality community radio while educating area high school students and volunteers in the techniques of broadcasting."
It is the mission of KRVM to serve the community interest by producing an innovative, unique and diverse radio program of both entertainment and information. It is also the mission of KRVM to provide access to all ages of the community who wish to add to their communication experience. KRVM's mission is to deliver a consistently professional program, utilizing students and a volunteer staff.
Weekday programming on KRVM is an Adult Album Alternative (AAA) mix from new and established performers. You'll never hear the same song between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays! In addition, we feature a wide variety of specialty shows in the evening and on weekends.
Licensed to and owned by School District 4J, in Lane County, Oregon, KRVM offers an opportunity for students to learn radio broadcasting in a real working environment. Our mix of education in public broadcasting and an adult listenership provides a marketable service that generates funds from underwriter support. We also receive funds from member support and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
OUR UNIQUE HISTORY: Educational radio stations were among the first to take to the air in the early 1920s when public interest in broadcasting reached its peak. After 1945, the FCC opened a new FM broadcast band between 88-108 megahertz. School District 4J's KRVM was the 13th in the nation to take to the air as an educational station; the first in the entire Pacific Northwest.
KRVM no longer broadcasts educational programs to the schools for in-classroom instruction. Instead, it focuses on the training of middle and high school students for careers in radio broadcasting, and also produces many programs for the general public.
KRVM went "live" promptly at 10:00 AM, December 6, 1947, in Eugene, Oregon. KRVM was Eugene's first FM station and Eugene's fourth radio station.
BROADCAST COVERAGE: KRVM 91.9 FM provides a strong signal throughout Oregon's southern Willamette Valley. In addition, FM radio repeaters serve Reedsport and Coos Bay on the Oregon coast, and listeners worldwide can tune in via the Internet.
