KPOV High Desert Community Radio Central Oregon

KPOV High Desert Community Radio, based in Bend, Oregon, is a listener-supported, volunteer-powered nonprofit station serving communities across Central Oregon, including Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and Prineville. Broadcasting on 88.9 FM and online, KPOV delivers a unique mix of locally produced music, news, and talk programming that reflects the voices and interests of the region.

Built on the idea of “radio for the people, by the people,” KPOV provides a platform where community members, local organizations, and regional issues are given a voice. Its programming strengthens connections across the High Desert by highlighting local culture, arts, education, and meaningful public dialogue.

As a listener-supported station, KPOV relies on community funding to sustain its operations and programming. Support comes in many forms, from one-time donations to sustaining monthly memberships that provide ongoing stability. Additional opportunities include business underwriting, employer matching programs, vehicle donations, and planned giving, allowing both individuals and businesses to contribute in ways that fit their capacity.

Through its broad regional reach and strong community roots, KPOV serves as more than a radio station—it’s a connector. For businesses, organizations, and residents alike, it offers a powerful channel to inform, engage, and support the Central Oregon community.
