KAGI

Article summary

KAGI (930 AM) is a radio station in Grants Pass, Oregon, United States. The station is owned by Southern Oregon University and is part of its Jefferson Public Radio (JPR) network; it airs JPR's "News & Information" service, consisting of news and talk programming. While it principally broadcasts at 930 kHz on the AM band, a translator, K250BZ (97.9 FM), rebroadcasts its programming on the FM band in the Grants Pass area. KAGI is the oldest station in Grants Pass, starting as KUIN on December 16, 1939. It became KAGI in 1958, coinciding with a power increase. The Smullin family was involved in the station for its first 52 years of existence until donating the station to Southern Oregon University in 1991. The donations of KAGI and KSJK in Talent allowed JPR to begin providing a separate news and information station.
