About Curry Coast Community Radio -
KCIW 100.7 FM

Curry Coast Community Radio is the only community radio station serving the community of Brookings-­Harbor, Oregon and beyond. Our mission is to provide an effective forum for the free exchange of artistic expression

, information, and differing viewpoints to encourage communication, cooperation, and collaboration among local government entities, schools, service groups, other nonprofits, and population segments whose voices are not often heard or heeded. Our programming is diverse, with a common theme of community action, education, and involvement:

• We provide a forum for local government officials and community leaders to
dialog with the public through interviews and round­table discussions.

• We showcase local arts, music, literary, and drama through the broadcast of locally ­produced music, radio drama, poetry and prose readings, and interviews
with musicians, artists, and authors.

• We encourage students and other community members to participate in
program production and station operation, allowing them to gain valuable verbal,
organizational, and technical skills that can be used in other aspects of life. Curry Coast Community Radio is a noncommercial radio station operated entirely by unpaid volunteers. We are an Oregon nonprofit corporation established on October 1, 2013. We were
granted an FCC Construction Permit on February 3, 2014, allowing us to proceed with the construction of a low ­power FM community radio station. We are on the air with the call sign KCIW and we broadcast on a frequency of 100.7 FM. Our signal is received through most of the Brookings-­Harbor area, and we will stream our programming on the Internet to all of Curry County (and the world). We depend on contributions from the community for financial support. To contribute go to kciw.org -
