4x Expansion of FM Reach!
After months of work and discussions, it is now official: XRAY.fm has earned the opportunity to broadcast throughout greater Portland at 107.1 FM. That's in addition to our current frequency in East Portland, 91.1 FM. The map below shows just how significant the expansion is. Still, we promise to stay humble and hungry--we’re not acquiring a $5 million commercial signal, and there will still be shadows within the coverage circle. But this is a big opportunity, roughly quadrupling our FM coverage area. We’re putting together a plan to gather the resources, buy the equipment, and perform the engineering to make it happen, and if you want to help, let us know.
And thank you! With your help, we have programmed 168 hours per week, begun streaming worldwide at XRAY.fm, launched on 91.1 FM, returned some legendary shows to the airwaves, introduced exciting new talents, launched membership, PSA and underwriting programs, and are gathering the building blocks to last. We are working to build a station worthy of our community. We’ll keep working. We can make this happen together.

We'd like to give a very special thanks and acknowledgement to the volunteers and MetroEast board members of KZME. Many of KZME’s best shows will be added to strengthen the XRAY.fm lineup. People like Dave, Ellene, Michele, JBJ, Cliff, James, Kristin, and more will make the XRAY family stronger, bigger, smarter, kinder, more experienced, and more creative. With their help, we’ll work to grow and shine a light on Portland’s creative community.
