KLCC (FM)

KLCC 89.7 FM is the main National Public Radio member station in Eugene, Oregon, and the southern Willamette Valley. It also operates on various other repeater frequencies at other cities in Western and Central Oregon. The station is licensed to Lane Community College.
KLCC signed on in 1967, bringing a locally focused noncommercial station to Eugene for the first time. In 1971 KLCC became a charter member of National Public Radio, airing NPR's All Things Considered.
KLCC is noteworthy for its award-winning local News Department and an eclectic music blend. Weekday programming formerly included Fresh Tracks, which featured a diverse blend of musical genres. In 2011 Fresh Tracks ended its 22-year run on KLCC.
In late 2013, KLCC expanded its news and information programming to weekday afternoons, featuring NPR programs and other news and talk shows from 5 am until 6:30 or 7:30 pm. Evenings and weekends remain a blend of jazz, folk, Americana, blues, Celtic, and world music shows. Saturday night features 'Dead Air', a tribute to the Eugene area's connection to The Grateful Dead.
In addition to "All Things Considered", KLCC airs NPR's "Morning Edition" and "Weekend Edition", along with Fresh Air, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" and various other news, talk, and public affairs programs. In 2019 the Northwest Passage Podcast was created to give listeners a wrap up of the week's news and a behind the scenes look at KLCC News.
KLCC serves 88,000 people each week from their station in downtown Eugene, reaching listeners throughout Western and Central Oregon from the Coast to Bend and Roseburg to Salem.
