Overview

All Classical FM is Portland, Oregon’s classical radio station. Established in 1983, All Classical's mission is to provide classical music and fine arts information to listeners in Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington and the world via the internet. We strive to increase audiences for local performers and performances, thereby further enhancing the region's cultural environment.

Classical music for the Hood River area became a reality with the launch of KQHR 90.1FM in November 2001. KQHR rebroadcasts the KBPS signal from Portland.

Thanks to a sub-lease with KBOO, All Classical has been on the air in The Dalles for over nine months. A recent award from the FCC will mean a permanent station in this area later in 2008.

In May 2008, a long-time dream to have a classical station at the Oregon Coast became reality when KQAC 88.1 FM went on the air from Cape Foulweather. Our strongest signal in Oregon, this station reaches Tillamook and Cannon Beach to the north and Yachats to the south.

As non-commercial public radio stations, KBPS, KQHR and KQAC rely on listener contributions, which provide over 60% of our budget. We also receive financial support from local businesses and arts organizations that underwrite our programming through on-air sponsorships. Additionally, a small portion of our annual budget comes from various foundation grants and from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Your contribution is held by KBPS Public Radio Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving classical music radio and radio broadcast education in Portland.
