We got such a great response from the thread “Portland Area Original Call Letter Meanings” a few weeks ago I thought it was time we put our heads together to figure out all Oregon call letter meanings. This idea began when some of You posted call meanings of stations out side the Portland Area on the Portland thread. I wanted to find a place for them. Plus, years ago I had collected many of the early call meanings from Newspaper microfilms state wide at OHS Library.
This listing took three weeks to compile, using all information available but there might be call letter omissions. I’m counting on readers out side the Portland area to step up with what you remember about your area stations and original call letter meanings. This listing includes all current calls. LPFM’s have not been included. Portland Area stations have been omitted from this long list also. The year listed is the earliest the calls were used on the air. If for some reason you would rather E-Mail me the information, my E-Mail address is: radiohistorian@msn.com
Thanks for Your help!

For sure KMUN is “coast coMmUNity radio”…
KLFO my be just emulating KLCC in FlOrence, perhaps no need for Ocean.
I always assumed that KCYS was CY(sea)Side…but don’t know for sure.
If you pronounce KAZL it sounds a lot like Castle…K(c)AZ(s)tLe, perhaps?
“I always assumed that KCYS was CY(sea)Side…but don’t know for sure.”
Oh-Oh… I just tuned in KCYS (98.1) and they play country music, so perhaps it is K-CountrY Seaside ?
KWVZ is KWAX in Florence, at least they got the “W” .
KEHK “The HawK”
“04 KTCB – Tillamook County Broadcaster? (Tillamook)”
KTCB is part of the KMUN family so I suspect “Community” rather than “County” would be correct.
“06 KCPB – ClatsoP County Broadcaster. (Warrenton)”
KCPB is Also part of the KMUN family … perhaps “Community Public Broadcast” ?
Great Stuff! I’m hoping we can pin down some of the meanings. I’ve guessed on a great deal of them also.
An after thought. Forgot to check the vintage listing for S.W. Washington and found this addition:
22 KDZM [Centralia] – sequence assigned.
KAPL – APpLegate Christian Fellowship (owner)
KATR – Cater (Logo with the letter “K” shaped like someone in cowboy boots and hat serving up music on a platter) http://www.divshare.com/download/8190221-5de
KBDF – I was told by a then-KEED employee that KBDF didn’t stand for anything and I suspect it was just easy to pronounce.
KBEY – I’m just guessing it’s a reference to “Oregon’s Bay Area,” or Coos Bay.
KBKN – Beacon
KBNO – Que Bueno
KCEL – Was pronounced “K-sell,” but I don’t know if there was any other significance.
KCNA – KiCkiN’ A – They wanted a bad boy image, but were afraid to actually call it “Kickin’ Ass” over the air.
KEHK – Likely “Eugene’s HawK,” but was ID’d as simply “The Hawk.”
KFMY Eugene – Frequency Modulation Young (Lytle “Duke” Young, owner.)
KGRI – I assumed the “G” was for Green Peter Mtn., the xmtr site.
KGRV – I have heard them use “God’s Radio Voice” on-air.
KHNN – Headline News Network (CNN Radio)
KHSN – Kissin’
KJKL – Might be Josephine (County) K-Love.
KKIC – K-KICk
KKMX – MiX
KKTT – I’m not aware of this ever being in Creswell, but when on Eugene’s 97.9 it was KaTT country.
KLCX – Classics (Classic Rock) “Classics” was seldom used on-air, and only in the beginning of it’s run.)
KLFO _ JrTech may be correct, or “FO” may be Florence Oregon.
KLRF – cLeaR
KLZS – Dyslexic spelling for cLasS
KMJZ – Was a sMooth JazZ format for a time.
KNRQ – New RocQ
KOPT – Oregon”s Progressive Talk
KRBZ – The KRaB
KROR – Reliable Oregon Radio (owner?)
KRSR – Real Sports Radio (formerly KYNG and swapped call letters with KRSR, Dallas TX, which wanted to become “Young Country.”)
KRXX – K-Rocks
KSND – K-Sound, or “The Sound.” (Published countdown list called “The Sound Sheet.)
KUJZ – Likely “eUgene’s smooth JazZ.”
KWOD – Warehousing of former Sacramento calls which originally meant “Quad.” (At one time broadcast QS quad system.}
KWOW – I don’t believe these calls ever made it to air.
KYSG – “Solid Gospel”
KYTT – “K-Light”
KZAM – Pronounced “kuh-ZAM”, emulating Belleview/Seattle original with some of the original staff.
KZZK – “Z-RocK”
This is fun!
I think I know a few more but want to see if some of those who were actually there respond. KFAT and KIQY come immediately to mind.
08 KSKR = The Score (ESPN RADIO 101.1 and 1490 The Score)
93 KXPC – Pure Country 103.7 (DARK)
93 KXIX – Originally signed on as X-94(alt) now Power 94(chr)
93 KKMX – Originally signed on as 1045 The Mix(chr) now 104.3/5 SAM-FM
70 KRSB – Roseburg Radio(chr) now Best Country 103
59 KQEN – once the sister station to KYNG (king) over on the coast – KQEN (queen), now Newsradio 1240 KQEN
50 KRXL – still diggin for that info
99 KAVJ – still diggin for that too
I didn’t listen much to KZAM in Seattle but I seem to remember them calling it K-ZAM just like Craig put.
I always heard kuh-ZAM, whether frequently DXing AM 1540, or in hearing the FM during a visit to Seattle in ’81. The same thing was carried down to Eugene.
Rob,
94.1 KXIQ “Q94” morphed into KXIX “Mix 94” (Hot AC) in 1994, and then became “X94” (Modern Rock) in 1996.
104.3 KKMX started as Hot AC “The Hit Mix, 104.3 KKMX” in 1993.
(104.3 was KTRQ, until it went dark in 1991.)
