I think many of those can’t be considered local.
If you own any stations outside the Portland market, you are either regional or national, not local.
My only criterion for “local” was that the organization owning the station must be headquartered in Portland. If local requires that the stations not be owned along with any out-of-market stations, then at least the following must go:
Oregon Public BroadcastingAlpha MediaCatholic Broadcasting NorthwestAll Classical Public MediaKBOO Foundation
Feel free to build your own list.
How is Bustos local?
You are correct;
Bustosis not local because they own Oregon and Washington stations outside of the Portland market, as well a station in Wisconsin.The list has now been pared down to:
AM
- 860 Pamplin Media
- 1360 Dolphin Radio LLC
- 1450 Portland Public Schools
- 1550 Pamplin Media
FM
- 89.1 Mount Hood Community College

I excluded the
KBOO Foundationbecause they own two out-of-market translators. I never put KXRY on my list in the first place because their license is still held by Common Frequency. It is sad, yet not surprising to see that what remains on the list are primarily LPFMs, followed by a few independent commercial stations, followed by an even smaller number of stations licensed to educational institutions.Amador Bustos will be disappointed. His group’s first purchase was Adelante here in Portland.
Including Bustos Media as local is correct.Pamplin will soon be off the list when their sale of 860/1550 is consummated.
LPFM’s must be locally owned and the licensee can not have other broadcast interests.
Bustos is not local nor can it be called a regional licensee anymore (WA and OR) since it owns a license in Wisconsin. It doesn’t operate like a local broadcaster either, since it’s programming is networked.
What about:
100.7 SLAVIC COMMUNITY CENTER OF NW, INC
100.7 JEHOVAH JIREH INTERNATIONAL MISSION (time share)These are “suppose” to be local…hard to tell. Some of these stations just rebroadcast syndicated programming. Even though others are somewhat automated, they are still operated locally.
LPFM’s are committed to 8 hours of local programming per day. That local programming can be automated, syndicated or live as long as it is produced locally. In this time share case it would be 4 hours each out of their 12.
The Calvary Chapel LPFM in our area spends most of their air time playing recorded out of state shows and a little music. Just like their full power FMs. “It’s local because we play it locally”.
I was thinking about listing the other 100.7 stations, but I hadn’t ventured far enough east to confirm that they are on the air. If they are on the air, then, I think that they should be on the list.
I did not list 96.7, 98.3, or 101.5 because these frequencies are sitting silent.
Bustos Media owns two FPFM’s in Milwaukee – Wi.
Ls Gran syndication out of L.A. which also provides programming to other radio groups across the nation.
Current management group corporate offices are in Camas – Wa and not in Sacramento – CA. Washington corporate taxes are less than in Oregon. There are local produced programming blocks which are also rebroadcasted in the Bustos northwest properties. Most commercials are local.
No sabe espanol Problacime.RE:
What about:100.7 SLAVIC COMMUNITY CENTER OF NW, INC
100.7 JEHOVAH JIREH INTERNATIONAL MISSION (time share)100.7 SLAVIC COMMUNITY CENTER OF NW, INC – Is playing locally originated programming. Music / news / and some DJ talks. However, 100.7 JEHOVAH JIREH INTERNATIONAL MISSION (time share) is mostly religious music with occasional sermons which I have a very hard time believing that they are produced locally.
I was under the impression that Amador Bustos was the old Univision guy and had nothing to do with the northwest, other than the fact he owns stations here.
You might be confusing him with Luis Nogales, owner of Embarcadero which owned KINK in the 90’s. He was formerly with Univision in a big way. He tried to buy out my partner and me in the 105.9 ten year court case.
