KLCC

KLCC is a public radio station based in Eugene, Oregon. It is licensed to Lane Community College and operated with support from the KLCC Public Radio Foundation, a community-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The station signed on as KPNW on February 17, 1967, took the KLCC call letters that August, and in 1971 became a charter member of National Public Radio and began airing All Things Considered. Its mission is "to engage the mind, enrich the spirit, and deepen understanding of our community and our world."

KLCC serves western and central Oregon through a network of ten noncommercial FM signals. The flagship, KLCC 89.7 FM, covers Eugene, Springfield, Corvallis and Albany. Full-power stations KLBR in Bend, KMPQ in Roseburg, KLCO in Newport, KLFR in Reedsport and KLFO in Florence extend the service, along with translators in Cottage Grove, Oakridge, Riddle and Sisters. The station reaches about 90,000 listeners a week on air, with more reading and listening online at KLCC.org, and more than two-thirds of its operating funds come from member contributions and business underwriting.

KLCC's news department, a newsroom of about 16 people, produces daily local news for air and online and has won the Radio Television Digital News Association's Overall Excellence award in its division five years running. KLCC is a member of the Northwest News Network and shares content with Oregon Public Broadcasting and Jefferson Public Radio. It produces the public affairs program Oregon On The Record, the podcast Oregon Grapevine and Oregon Rainmakers, a series on local business and government, and it publishes the weekday email KLCC Extra! and The Shortcut, an online guide to Oregon arts and culture. Evenings bring jazz, folk, Americana, blues and world music, and KLCC's Ahora Sí has served the region's Latinx community for three decades.

KLCC staff are Lane Community College employees, and the college is the official employer for station positions. Openings are posted on Lane Community College's applicant portal at jobs.lanecc.edu under the KLCC-FM department. The station hires for news roles such as reporters and editors, as well as programming and production, development and engineering positions, and its newsroom also welcomes aspiring journalists.
