Freeform Portland

Non-profit, volunteer run , community radio.
90.3 & 98.3 FM, freeformportland.org We've also got radio family at KPSU, KRRC and Mt Hood Community College.

Freeform, or freeform radio, is a radio station programming format in which the DJ is given total control over what music to play, regardless of music genre or commercial interests. Freeform radio stands in contrast to most commercial radio stations, where DJs have little or no influence over programming structure or playlists. In the United States, freeform DJs are still bound by Federal Communic

ations Commission regulations. Freeform Portland (KFFP) has a permit from the FCC to utilize a non-commercial low-power FM (LPFM) radio channel in Portland. KFFP is being created by a group of volunteers who are waaaaaay-into freeform stations like WFMU, KXLU, KALX, & KFJC, and have tons of prior college and community radio experience. Our volunteers work directly with All Classical, KBOO, KMHD, XRAY.fm, House of Sound, Portland Radio Project, Wild Planet Radio and Vancouver Radio Project. We love radio. We love Portland. We're all working on the same team against the crappy corporate radio monopoly. Won't you join us?

The Papalota Sound radio show
This Tuesday Noon to 2pm
Spaning the globe for music

10/14/2024

This week’s installment of Serious Leisure with is dedicated to the memory of Michael Henning, aka Megasoup: Big Lunch’s friend, former coworker at Amoeba Music, and co-DJ at KALX Berkeley, who passed suddenly in an accident earlier this month. Michael was a fixture of East Bay music and radio, and the weight of his absence is reverberating all the way up to Portland and far beyond.
Tune in this Tuesday, Oct. 15, 8-10pm for two hours of Megasoup-centric jams: ambient sound-worlds, international transmissions, jazz explorations, massive dubs, and endlessly deep grooves. Music that Michael made (under the monikers of Selaroda and Skyminds), music he loved, and music Big Lunch would love to share with him, given another chance.
Broadcasting live from the studio at 90.3FM and 98.3FM, and streaming worldwide at freeformportland.org.
Rest in peace, Michael 💙🎧🌀📻🪐

The cliche is that if you do something for 10,000 hours, you can become an expert at that task or activity. Jeff Ross has been hosting the radio show "It's a nice world to visit" since 2006. He doesn't claim to be an expert. He claims to be an amateur deejay. But he may not be in the best position to cast judgement or render an opinion. Tune in and judge for yourself. Every Saturday afternoon at 2 PM on which can be heard on 90.3 / 98.3 FM in the Portland metro area and streamed from: http://www.freeformportland.org

This week, we'll travel uptown to Harlem World, where the cast of club characters may have been less diverse, but the music was bigger and blacker than the sound of downtown. This week the bass guitar rules supreme as heros like Steve Arrington & Bernard Wright lay down the heavy backbeat, vocalistas romanticos like Luther & Diana Ross soar like the eagles, and wedding show bands like Unlimited Touch and the Crown Heights Affair bring the 'Private Party' to the people. Tune in this Tuesday 3/8 for all your boogie favorites and much, much more. Find us at 90.3 FM NoPo 98.3 FM Beaverton 101.5 FM Pdx or streaming online 24/7/365 at http://freeformportland.org
