About us
KLCC is a public radio station licensed to Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon. With 81,000 watts of power, KLCC 89.7 FM is the most powerful public radio signal in Oregon. KLCC serves more than 88,000 listeners each week within a 100 mile radius of Eugene. Besides our main transmitter in Eugene, we have translators in four communities throughout Western and Central Oregon (Cottage Grove, Oakridge, Riddle and Sisters), and five sister stations -- KLBR in Bend, KLFO in Florence, KLCO in Newport, KLFR in Reedsport, and KMPQ in Roseburg -- all broadcasting KLCC programming. KLCC is consistently ranked among the top five public radio stations in the nation for market impact. KLCC is a charter member of National Public Radio, and the primary NPR member station in the Eugene/Springfield area. Our weekdays and several hours on the weekends are devoted to news and talk programs, covering local, regional, national and international topics and issues. A wide world of intelligent music fills the evenings and much of the weekends -- music that is unavailable or under-represented on commercial radio. Jazz, Blues, Folk, Americana, Electronic, R&B, Latino, and World Music can all be enjoyed on KLCC each week. KLCC is a listener-supported, non-commercial, non-promotional, independent radio station. Over half of our funding comes from the listening audience and business community. The remaining funds are provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).

Some of the most beloved stories have been told both on the stage and on the screen. But what goes into bringing all story elements to life on those respective platforms? In the newest episode of Oregon Grapevine, host Barbara Dellenback speaks with Cynthia Whitcomb, an award-winning playwright and screenplay writer, about this very question. Cynthia was recognized in 2022 by Literary Arts with the Literary Legacy Award for her "outstanding, long-term support of Oregon’s literary community."
