Freeform Portland:
Loud and Local for Ten Years

Freeform Portland is an independent, non-commercial radio station that has been a vital part of the local community and a valuable cultural resource since 2016. Powered by an amazing community of more than 125 dedicated volunteers, we play everything you won’t hear on commercial radio, from cumbia to jazz to death metal and disco. And we give the airwaves to the people who actually live here: the music lovers, the musicians, the activists, the weirdos, the historians, the first-time DJs who dreamed about sharing their love for music with the world.

Freeform Portland relies on listeners like you to keep us on the airwaves. In a media landscape that keeps getting louder and somehow emptier, help us continue to bring original and diverse programming free-of-charge to Portland and beyond. Help us stay loud and local for the next ten years by making a gift today.

Thank you for supporting local, community-based radio!

Improved Signal on 98.3 FM in Central Portland

We recently moved our 98.3 FM transmitter to the Central Eastside of Portland to have a stronger signal in the center of town, from the West Hills out past SE 82nd Ave. Tune us in if you live in the area or the next time you’re driving through. Of course, no matter where you are, you can still listen online.

98.3 FM Can you hear us now?!? Freeform Portland has expanded our service area! Try it out in your neighborhood at 98.3 FM.

100% Volunteer-Run, Community-Crafted Radio

Freeform Portland is proud to operate as a 100% volunteer-run non-profit radio station. Every one of our DJs gives the station hours of their own time every month, building our community and ensuring that Freeform Portland serves the community. Your generous donation helps us pay our rent, keep the lights on, maintain our equipment, and keep the airwaves flowing with 100% music—every day, every hour, every day of every week.
