Overview

All Classical FM is Portland, Oregon’s classical radio station. Established in 1983, All Classical's mission is to provide classical music and fine arts information to listeners in Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington and the world via the internet. We strive to increase audiences for local performers and performances, thereby further enhancing the region's cultural environment.

All Classical's flagship station, KQAC 89.9 FM is heard throughout northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. KQAC broadcasts with the latest high quality HD digital signal.

Additionally the All Classical program is streaming live on the Web at www.allclassical.org and broadcasting through a series of regional FM repeater stations. All Classical uses repeater station 107.1 FM in Portland, in a lease partnership with MetroEast Community Media of Gresham.

Classical music in the Columbia Gorge became a reality with the launch of KQHR Hood River in November 2001. Then on Halloween 2009, coverage was dramatically increased from 44 watts to 3,000 watts with KQHR 88.1 FM Hood River and added high quality HD digital broadcasts. An increase from 26 watts to 80 watts and a move to a higher mountain top for 96.3 FM The Dalles increased coverage all around the east side of the Gorge.

In May 2008, a long-time dream came true to have a classical station at the Oregon Coast when KQOC 88.1 FM went on the air from Cape Foulweather. Our strongest signal in Oregon, this station reaches Tillamook and Cannon Beach to the north and Yachats to the south.

As non-commercial public radio stations, KQAC, KQOC, KQHR and their associated repeater stations rely on listener contributions, which provide over 60% of our budget. We also receive financial support from local businesses and arts organizations that underwrite our programming through on-air sponsorships. Additionally, a small portion of our annual budget comes from various foundation grants and from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Your contribution is held by All Classical Public Media, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving classical music radio and radio broadcast education in Portland. Tax-ID # 93-1042868.
